Gravity potential falling?

Why is the gravity potential falling with increasing distance from the 2 massive bodies? I'd expect it increases with increasing distance from both bodies. --213.208.220.5 12:50, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

It's because it's a rotating frame: centrifugal "force" increases with radius – see http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/60424 — cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 22:17, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
