Goodable Trivia Question of the WeekHow high can you jump on the Moon compared to Earth?
A: 2x higher on the lunar surfaceB: 5x higher on the lunar surfaceC: 6x higher on the lunar surfaceD: it's the same
Answer: C: 6x higher on the lunar surface. The moon’s gravity is just one-sixth that of Earth’s, so you can jump six times higher on the moon than you can on Earth. Each time you jump, you can stay in the air for about 4 seconds before surrendering to gravity. Put another way, when you're on the Moon, you are 1/6th as heavy. So if you weigh 75 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh about 12 pounds on the Moon.
