Is it fun floating in the air on the moon?

You don't float in air on the moon because there is no air on the moon, and you don't float anyway. There is gravity on the moon; it is one-sixth the force of Earth's gravity, so you can jump six times higher on the moon, but you don't float weightlessly.
