According to classical mechanics, between two or more masses (or other forms of energy--momentum) a gravitational potential energy exists. Conservation of energy requires that this gravitational field energy is always negative

Yes lets understand As you saw when lifting a book, the work that you do "against gravity" in lifting is stored (somewhere... Physicists say that it is stored "in the gravitational field" or stored "in the Earth/book system".) and is available for kinetic energy of the book once you let go. Forces that...

Yes, because conservative forces will have an associated potential energy, such that when such a force does positive work on a body, the body changes from having potential energy to kinetic energy

Gravitational energy is conservative. Gravitational energy can be stored in the form of potential energy, which is the energy that an object has due to its position. Potential energy is associated with forces that act on a body in a way that depends only on the body's position in space.

A conservative force is one which does the same amount of work on an object that moves from point A to point B, no matter what path it takes along the way. Therefore Gravity is a conservative force.

A conservative force is one which does the same amount of work on an object that moves from point A to point B, no matter what path it takes along the way. Hence, Gravitational force is a conservative force as Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is associated with an object's mass and its position
