PE is all about mass, gravity, and height. More mass or more height means more potential energy!

Gravitational potential energy depends on 3 things: mass (m), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h). So basically, it's PE = mgh!
It depends on mass and height. That's it.
Based on my experience in physics class, gravitational potential energy really hinges on how heavy something is and how high up it is. Simple formula: mgh.
