In this work, we define catenaries on any Riemannian surface. A catenary on a surface is a critical point of the potential functional, where we calculate the potential with the intrinsic distance to a fixed reference geodesic. Adopting semi-geodesic coordinates around the reference geodesic, we characterize catenaries using their curvature. Finally, after revisiting the space-form catenaries, we consider surfaces of revolution (where a Clairaut relation is established), ruled surfaces, and the Grušin plane.}, organization = {Morá Miriam Rozen Gerber fellowship for Brazilian postdocs}, organization = {Faculty of Physics Postdoctoral Excellence Fellowship}, organization = {IMAG}, organization = {Research Group “Problemas variacionales en geometría”, Junta de Andalucía (FQM 325)}, organization = {MINECO/MICINN/FEDER grant no.
