Dear student,
The gravitational potential at any point outside a spherically symmetric mass distribution is independent of the size of the distribution, and we can consider all of its mass to be concentrated at the center of the mass distribution.The gravitational potential is zero at any point inside a spherically symmetric mass distribution.
