What is Gravitational Potential: Definition & Units about?

Gravitational potential is defined as the negative of the work done per unit mass in shifting a test mass from a reference point (usually infinity) to a given point in a gravitational field. Gravitational potential is a scalar quantity that depends on position and its negative gradient gives the intensity of the gravitational field. The gravitational potential due to a point mass M is GM/r, where G is the universal gravitational constant and r is the distance from the point mass. The gravitational potential
