Am I correct in thinking that the force of gravity between 2 test objects at rest on a planet's surface is less than it would be for the same objects at rest in deep space? I understand that this occurs because in GR gravitational potential has a mass value which is lost on the surface, while the mass's themselves still retain the same value. If this is correct, does it require a difficult GR calculation? Thanks
