- - - - the force field around a mass
    - - the path direction the 1kg test mass would follow
    - - the strength of a gravitational field is the force exerted on a 1kg test mass placed in that field = - potential gradient
    - - the energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field
    - - the gravitational potential, V, at a point is the work done per unit mass to move a 1kg object from infinity to that point
    - - the change of potential per metre at that point
    - - regions or surfaces of constant potential, closer lines means greater potential gradient
    - - the change of potential per metre at that point
