Energy stored in an object due to its position is Potiential energy . Energy that is moving object has due to its motion is Kinetic energy .

Answer:

Potential Energy is stored energy or energy of position (gravitational). The object isn't moving. For example, a ball being held is potential energy because the object isn't moving but it has the potential of turning into kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. For example, running. You are moving, and there is clear action and activity
