  We present some well-known energy-momentum complexes and evaluate the
gravitational energy associated with static spherically symmetric spacetimes.
In fact, the energy distribution of the aforementioned gravitational background
that is contained in a two-sphere of radius $r$ shows that a test particle
situated at a finite distance $r$ experiences the gravitational field of the
effective gravitational mass. In addition, we apply Verlinde's entropic gravity
to find the emergent gravitational energy on static spherically symmetric
screens. In this setup, we find that the energy distribution in the
prescription of M{\o}ller is similar to the energy derived from the emergent
gravity, while other prescriptions give the different results. This result may
confirm the argument of Lessner who argues that M{\o}ller's definition of
energy is a powerful concept of energy in General Relativity.
