Step-by-step explanation
By using graphical representation of gravitational potential due to a uniform spherical shell and radius of the shell, we can see inside the shell the gravitational potential is not zero, and the gravitational potential is same everywhere inside the shell.
By using graphical representation of gravitational field due to a uniform spherical shell and radius of the shell, we can see the gravitational field inside the shell is zero.
