If there is no gravity on the moon why can an astronaut jump up and down as seen in the space shots?
There is gravity on the moon. There is less gravity on the moon than there is on earth, because the moon is smaller than earth.
Because the Earth has the mass it has, it has the gravity it has.
Because the moon has a lot less mass than the Earth its gravity is about 1/6 the amount of the Earth's gravity.

How would an astronaut aboard a space shuttle go about dropping an object down to earth?
The astronaut would release the object outside of the space shuttle and let it fall towards Earth due to gravity. The object would follow a trajectory back to Earth's surface without the need for further propulsion.
Does an astronaut cry tears in space?
Astronauts can cry tears in space. Tears will not run down your face, because there is no gravity, but they don't need gravity to form. When the tears get big enough they will break free of the eye when you blink and will float around in space forever until they freeze.
If A 75kg astronaut in space pushes against a 200kg anvil when the astronaut lets go what will happen?
the anvil will fall down
How does an astronaut travel up into space?
Astronauts in their spacecraft (such as the Space Shuttle) are lifted into space by huge rockets which accelerate the craft to "escape velocity" (about 25,000 mph). This puts the craft into orbit around the Earth, its forward velocity balancing the continuous pull of gravity. When they are ready to return to Earth, they use rockets to slow down, and gravity pulls them back out of orbit.
If there is no gravity why can an astronaut jump up and down?
Depends on where the astronaut is.If you're thinking of the moon, then an astronaut can jump up and down because there is gravity on the moon. It's just not as strong as on earth, so the astronauts can jump higher and farther.If you're talking about in deep space, or aboard the international space station, then the astronauts are not really jumping. They are pushing off the floor or walls, and will keep flying in the direction they pushed until they hit something or grab on to something.
Will gravity pull you down when your in space?
yes m8
Where would we go if we didn't have gravity?
We would be floating around like you see astronauts in space do because there is no gravity in space. Gravity is what holds us down to earth.
Do you float in space?
No, you do not float in space. In space, there is no gravity to pull you down, so you would float freely.
Why do you fall off in space?
No gravity to weigh objects down
Why an astronaut does not get pulled into earth on the moon?
The moons gravity holds them down!! The moons gravity maybe lower than the Earth's gravity but on the moon it is strong enough to win the tug of war with Earth's gravitational pull.
If a astronaut went to space and their rocket broke down what will they do to survive?
It would depend on the circumstances and the damage done.
An astronaut is floating feet down in a space shuttle which is orbiting at a height of R from the center of the earth What is the acceleration due to gravity g at her feet?
Three, the number of counting is three (3) , none other since no gravity is the norm without intervention inside the craft, Thus the Pythonian 3 shall be the default
