Also question is, can you float off the moon?
There is no air on the moon, but astronautsdon'tfloat away - even when they jump.
Also Know, can you jump higher on Mars? And if you can jump one meter (3.3feet)high on Earth, you would be able to jump2.64meters (almost 9 feet) high on Mars. The lower gravityonMars could prove beneficial to future astronauts, asitwould permit them to easily walk around the surfacewearinglarge spacesuits and carrying heavy backpacks.
Also question is, why can we jump higher on the moon?
Reinforce the idea that the reason they canjumphigher on the Moon is because gravity is weaker there; andthereason that they can't jump as high on Earthisbecause gravity is stronger.
How did astronauts walk on the moon?
Astronauts trained for microgravitybywalking “sideways.” Armstrong practiced taking off and landing in theLunarLanding Training Vehicle in Houston. And, tosimulatewalking in the moon's lower-gravityatmosphere,astronauts were suspended sideways by straps andthenwalked along a tilted wall.
