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.

Can Astronauts jump high on the moon because the moon has less mass than the 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.
