Just say you had a bunch of party balloons filled with helium tied to a person how many balloons would it take for a 150lb person to jump like they were on the moon?

well it depends how much the person weighs so do this take the persons weight and multiply it by five the divide it by how many inches the balloon is around then last but not least you add how much time it takes to blow up the balloon (this is because different heilium machines have different presure gages) and there is how many balloons it takes to lift a person off the ground wit regular party balloons

200lb man or 150lb man or both
If you weighed 150 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on mars?
The mass and diameter of the planet Mars is less that of Earth so there are changes to how the gravity effects you. This would cause a normally 150 pound person to only weigh 56 pounds on Mars.
Why is an astronaut weightless?
Typically, an astronaut and their vehicle are in free fall around the Earth (orbit). This feels like going down a big hill on a roller coaster, but it doesn't stop until reentry. If you sat on a weighing scale while riding a roller coaster, you would see your weight change with changes in momentum as the roller coaster climbed, fell, banked etc.... Say you normally weigh 150lbs, when you're climbing up the big hill, the scale would show you weighing more than 150 (your weight plus the acceleration as you gain altitude). When you crest the hill and plummet downward, the scale will read much less than 150lb, as your seat, the scale & YOU fall back towards the ground. Likewise, an astronaut sitting on scale would weigh more than normal during lift off and climbing to orbit. Typically, astronauts will weigh 2-4 times their normal weight during this time. Once the spacecraft is in orbit, it is in continuous free fall around the Earth. The scale would read "0" (zero).
Why does glide ratio not change with aircraft weight?
"Who said it doesn't? Of course it changes. The Lift force has to equal the weight of the aircraft. The amount of lift generated is a function of airspeed and angle of attack. Lift does not increase just because the aircraft weighs more. So, if two aircraft are identical other than weight, the lighter one glides further."Incorrect ! Absolutely wrong!Glide ratio (L over D or L/D) is NOT affected by aircraft weight. The glide ratio is a factor of the physical form of the aircraft; the drag produced by the aircraft shape & profile and the lift produced by the wings.Those factors do not change and we are speaking of aircraft best glide ratio, so, by definition, while producing the least drag which means landing gear retracted & flaps up, referred to as "clean".Aircraft manuals (POH- pilot operating handbook) that list glide ratio & often the speed at which to fly to achieve best glide ratio (greatest distance the aircraft will fly) always refer to aircraft maximum gross weight. If the aircraft weighs less, the best glide speed will be lower.A rule of thumb; for every 10% (1%) below gross weight, reduce speed by 5% (.5%) to achieve best glide speed.A Cessna 172 empty weight is about 69% of maximum gross weight. W/ min. fuel and 150lb pilot the plane weighs about 76% of gross, so 24% less weight = 12% reduction in speed to arrive at best glide, reducing best glide from 65 kts at gross weight to 57kts at minimal weight.This can be significant and determine if the plane reaches the planned touchdown point.Conclusion is, a heavier aircraft will glide the same distance as a lighter aircraft (of identical make/model) but it will need to be flown at a higher speed to do so.Yes, the lift produced is a function of airspeed & angle of attackas best glide ratio is a function of angle of attack (AoA). So a specific AoA must be achieved to insure best glide / longest distance over the ground.The most perceived difference between lighter and heavier aircraft is, the heavier aircraft arrives in the same spot, faster.The same effects are in play with air density and higher altitude.Air is thinner, less lift and less drag, but Lift over Drag (L/D) is still a factor of the physical structure, shape/ profile and the lift produced by the wings.This does not change when the air is thinner.I do not have information as to how to adjust the speed for best glide ratioas altitude increases and air density decreases.It is amazing how many pilots and aviation professionals do not understand this.

150 pounds how munch in kg?
That depends on what pounds you are talking. European pounds are usually 500gr so 150lb = 75kg In the USA a pound is only 454gram therefore 150lb would be 68.1kg
