# Will potential energy of a body will increase or decrease if we bring that body closer to the earth ???

if a body of mass m is moved from  $r_{1 }$ to $r_{2 }$

Then Change of potential energy is given as

$\Delta U=GMm\left [ \frac{1}{r_{1}}-\frac{1}{r_{2}} \right ]$

If $r_{1}>r_{2}$ then the change in potential energy of the body will be negative.

So potential energy of a body will decrease if we bring that body closer to the earth.
