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.
When a an astronaut on the moon facing earth will observe the eclipse of what?
sun
Why would an astronaut weigh less on the moon than earth?
The moon is considerably smaller than the Earth, both in diameter and in mass, and it therefore has a much weaker gravitational field. The weight of an astronaut on the moon is the result of the mass of the astronaut, which is not changed by going to the moon, and the gravitation field of the moon. A weaker gravitational field produces a lower weight.
Can you jump from the moon to the earth?
No, not yet.
An astronaut on the moon would have the same as on Earth?
-- name -- age -- mass
How can you jump high?
become an astronaut and go to the moon
Are objects lighter when the gravity is weaker?
One example is how light an astronaut weighed when standing on the moon. As there is very little gravity on the moon, the astronaut was able to jump much higher than he could back on earth.
How does an astronaut jump high in the moon?
because in NASA they only allow people who can jump over 8ft to the moon
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.
What is the mass in kilograms of an astronaut on the moon who weighs 165 lbs on the earth?
The mass in kilograms of an astronaut on the Moon who weighs 165 lbs on Earth is 12.4kg

Where would an astronaut weigh the most the moon or earth?
Earth because on the moon you would weigh one sixth
How do you travel from earth to moon?
a rocket but you will have to become an astronaut first
When a an astronaut on the moon facing earth will observe the eclipse of what?
sun
Is there gravity between the moon and an astronaut who is on the moon?
Yes. The moon's surface gravity is about 1/6 what it is on Earth.
What happens when an astronaut kills another astronaut on the moon?
They have gone to the moon not to kill each other, but for a more purposeful mission. They could have done it on earth.
