We consider the gravitational potential due to a planet that is not a uniform sphere. We let P be the location of a unit mass at a distance r from C (the center of mass) of a bounded distribution of matter having a total mass M. Let dm be a differential element of the mass distribution, located at point Q, a distance ρ from C.
