It has gravitational potential energy because it is energy that is stretched or squeezed, and rubber bands are squeezed objects that is what makes them potential energy.
Potential Energy. If the springs or rubber bands are released, the potential energy will become kinetic energy.

A stretched rubber band has potential energy like a spring. It has the potential to snap back. I used to build model airplanes with rubber band motors. I also had a rubber band gun that shot rubber bands. The potential energy stored in the rubber bank is what made these devices work.

Only if they are stretched. It takes energy to pull the rubber band apart; in theory you can recover the energy when it collapses again. That's what potential energy is all about.

Elastic energy - which is a type of potential energy.
Potential Energy - Stored Energy or the potential to do work Kinetic energy is energy of motion, as you in a car. If the car runs into a tree, the kinetic ehergy in your body throws you into the windshield. And it hurts.
As this has answered already I will answer it again for you. 1st there is Elastic Potential energy and that energy will come into play when the band is stetched. When released the rubber bands energy is converted to Kinetic energy i.e characterized by its forward motion. When this energy is spent the rubber band reverts back to containing Potential Energy.
a tightly packed spring, it will act like a rubber band from a rubber band gun when you let go. that is how i remember ELASTIC potential. rubber bands are like elastic.
You can give the rubber band potential energy by stretching the rubber band, however if you let it go and it moves then it will no longer be potential energy.
