6 times higher than they can on earth. However, they're limited by their bulky spacesuit. During the last Apollo 16 moonwalk, Charlie Duke tried to jump as high as he could. He got almost 4 feet off the ground and landed on his back due to the heavy backpack he was wearing at the time. He came down so hard that he thought he'd punctured his spacesuit.
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
Yes, astronauts can jump higher on the moon than Earth because there is less gravity on the moon than on Earth. The Moon's low mass causes a force of gravity at the Moon's surface that is only about 1/6 of the force of gravity at the Earth's surface. A fully-equipped astronaut who weighs 270 pounds on Earth only weighs 45 pounds on the Moon. They must be careful though because their 123 kilogram mass is the same as on Earth, which means it is just as hard to speed up and just as hard to slow down; they must avoid the temptation to think that their reduced weight gives them reduced mass, which it doesn't.
The statement that astronauts on the Moon are weightless is true.
It does. Astronauts on the moon can jump higher than they do on Earth but they still come back down. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's because the moon has less mass.
The correct capitalization would be "Did your astronauts land on the moon?"
their is only one sixth the gravity on the moon compared to earth, so when you jump its like jumping in water, or throwing a feather or a piece of paper in the air.
He can jump about as high as the moon no joke
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
because in NASA they only allow people who can jump over 8ft to the moon
become an astronaut and go to the moon
No astronauts littered the moon.

While on the moon the astronauts lived in their lunar module.
There were a total of 12 astronauts who walked on the moon.

If you jump too high on any planet, you will go into space, especially Earth.
