The moons gravity is a lot lower than the Earths, so the men exploring the lunar surface will weigh a lot less, roughly 1/6th of what they do on earth. This means they can jump around more easily, since the force required to lift their bodies is a lot less.

Why can astronauts bounce on the surface of the moon?
Because the gravity of the moon is only 1/3 of that on Earth.
How does the law of universal gravitation explain why astronauts on the moon bounce when they walk?

How many astronauts have worked on the moons surface?
Around 12 astronauts have worked on the moon.
Is it true that you can shoot lasers at the moon and they will bounce back?
Not enitrely. Light will reflect off the moon, but in the same manner that it would relfect off any other piece of rock. The lasers that we bounce off the moon are fired at special mirrors placed there by the Apollo astronauts.
What did the astronauts do after they landed on the moon?
they jumped around and drove in a moon buggy and put a flag in the moon
Why did the astronauts bounce on the moon?
probaly because it was easier

Why do astronauts bounce around the moon as if the have spinds on their feet?
The gravity is low, and they were in rather stiff spacesuits. The easiest way to move around was a sort of "kangaroo hop" or lope, so that is what they did.
Why is their a difference in your weight on earth than on Saturn?
Same reason the astronauts bounce around on the Moon. The Moon is smaller than Earth, so we weigh less. Saturn is bigger than Earth, so we would weigh more.

How is it that the Moon's gravity is strong enough to effect earth's tides yet weak enough for man to bounce around?
The moon's gravity is constant. The variable in the question is the object's size. The moon impacts our tides, and other liquids, because it rotates around the earth and 'pulls' the water on earth's surface. The astronauts who walked on the moon experienced gravity proportionate to the size of the moon, which is smaller than the earth. Therefore, gravity exerted less force, allowing them to bounce.

Astronauts landed on the moon.
What was the name of the astronauts that littered the moon?
No astronauts littered the moon.
