Why is gravitational potential energy negative?

STATEMENT -1 : Time period of a satellite is inversely propertional to the square root of the mass of planet. STATEMENT -2 : Self gravitational potential energy of earth is positive. STATEMENT -3 : Orbital velocity of a satellite does depend upon the mass of planet.

STATEMENT-1: The electrostatic potential energy of a sphere with uniformly distributed negative charge is positive. STATEMENT-1: Two similar charges repel each other.

Choose the correct alternative : (a) If the gravitational potential energy of two mass points infinite distance away is taken to be zero, the gravitational potential energy of a galaxy is (positive /negative/zero). (b) The universe on the large is shaped by (gravitational/electromagentic) forces, on the atomic scale by (gravitational/electromagnetic) forces, on the nuclear scale by (gravitational/electromagnetic/strongnuclear) forces.

Statement I: The magnitude of the gravitational potential at the surface of solid sphere is less than that of the centre of sphere. Statement II: Due to the solid sphere, the gravitational potential is the same within the sphere.

Assertion : When two masses come closer, their gravitaional potential energy decreases. Reason : In moving attract each other.

If the gravitational potential energy of two point masses infintely away is taken to be zero then gravitational potential energy of a galaxy is
