Why do astronauts seem to be bounding rather than walking normally on the moon?

Because gravity is much lower there because the size of the moon is many times smaller than the size of the earth.
The power of the gravity depends on the size of the planet.

Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than a space shuttle?
it is advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather a space shuttle because a space station allow astronauts to stay and work extended time . A space shuttle is a space craft to transport astronauts , satellites, and other materials to and from space.
What is the zero gravity pen?
Rather than using a pencil, astronauts needed a pen that would write while they were in space. So the pen was invented. On earth, they will write regardless of whether you are upside down or rightside up.
Did astronauts walk on the far side of the moon?
No, there have been no astronauts landing or walking on the far side of the moon. None have landed in darkness there, either. It is considered too dangerous. This is because it is not possible for communication signals to reach the earth from the far side. Also, the terrain is very rough, making finding a landing site difficult in the dark. The landings must take place on the side of the moon facing earth, and in the light.Note: There is no "dark side of the moon" in reality. All sides of the moon get direct sunlight as the moon circles the earth. There is, however, only one side that faces earth, and it is the only side we see from here. That gives the moon a "back side" rather than a dark side.
Why is the International Space Station being constructed in space rather than on Earth's surface?
a) because we'd argue over which country it was built in b) so astronauts can conduct long term experiments in zero gravity The entire point of it is that it's in SPACE!!!!
Why do astronauts use calculus?
Because they normally do wish to return to their homes and families - rather than float through space forever.
Do kangaroos run?
Kangaroos are unable to run. Their legs are specially designed for hopping and bounding. They are unable to move independently for walking, and the long hind feet are structured for long leaps rather than running.
Why is kangaroo strange?
The kangaroo is not a strange animal. It is a marsupial, meaning it is a pouched mammal. It is also a Macropod, meaning it has large feet with strong hind legs used for bounding, rather than walking.
Do you think you can walk on the moon as you do on earth?
Astronauts who have walked on the moon found that the low gravity made walking rather difficult. It was easier to move by hopping.
Can Kangaroos hop?
Yes. Hopping is the main method by which kangaroos move. Kangaroos' legs are specially designed for hopping and bounding. They are unable to move independently for walking, and the long hind feet are structured for long leaps rather than running.

What does sneak do in sims3?
It means whenever you want to go out late at night and swipe something, you can sneak around rather than just walking around and people will rarely notice you steal. normally you wouldn't be allowed to swipe when someone was watching.
What are advantages of telecomunication in an organization?
It save people a lot of time rather then walking
Why do kangaroos jump rather than walk?
It's all to do with their structure. Kangaroos are built for jumping, rather than walking or running like other four-legged animals. Kangaroos have large, strong tendons in their hind legs which act as "springs". The springing motion requires less energy than running does, so kangaroos are able to bound for longer distances than other mammals with the standard four legs can run. They have strong back legs and elongated hind feet for bounding.
Do astronauts visit planets?
No, not yet at least. The only object that astronauts have been to other than Earth is the moon, which is a moon rather than a planet. There other planets are much farther away, but there are some plans to land people on Mars.
