How high can you jump on the Moon?

Because your body weighs less on the Moon, you can jump higher than on Earth. The gravity on the Moon is one-sixth that of Earth, yet you definitely couldn't leap six times as high because you'd be wearing a huge, cumbersome spacesuit! The moon is little larger than a quarter of the size of the Earth.

However, if it had the same mass as Earth, the moon's gravity would be 14 times greater, and you would be unable to leap at all. If the same mass was reduced to the size of a hamlet, it would collapse into a black hole. The Moon's gravity is lower than that of the Earth; in fact, it is one-sixth that of the Earth. When you're on the Moon, your weight is one-sixth that of Earth. But because your muscles are as powerful as they are on Earth, you can jump six times farther!
