When an object is not in motion, it can still have a form of energy. What form of energy does an object have due to its distance from Earth?

An object can have energy even when it is not moving. Because of its position or distance above Earth, it has gravitational potential energy; the farther it is lifted, the more energy it can release as it falls. Kinetic energy is energy of motion, so it does not describe a stationary object.
