What is the difference between kinetic and gravitacional energy?

Physics

Answer:

In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.

In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies

A star is located at a distance of about 100 million light years from Earth. An astronomer plans to measure the distance of the
nlexa [21]
<span>d. The parallaxes beyond a few thousand light years are
too small to be measured with common instruments.

I'm not sure that parallax can even be used out to a few
thousand light years.

The NEAREST star to Earth has the BIGGEST parallax.
The star is Alpha Centauri.  It's only 4 light years away
from us, and its parallax is  0.000206 of a degree !
I have no idea how astronomers can measure angles
so small ... and that's the BIGGEST parallax angle of
ANY star.</span>
