|dw:1363869957441:dw| |dw:1363870108689:dw| As you can see that as the radius decreases, which means for any object that is closer to the earth, the gravitational potential is more negative compared to object further away. They implemented this because as an object is at infinite range, the gravitational potential is zero, which makes sense.
