The moon has less gravity, because its mass is smaller. Gravity of an object like the moon or a planet is related to its mass. The more mass, the higher the gravity.

The equation for force due to gravity is F=G(m1m2/r2 , therefore decreasing on mass (in this case the moon has less mass than the Earth) lessens the force of gravity. So the above answer was correct this just is a explanation using the equation which hopefully helps the understanding.

By the way, if 2 humans were left in a vacuum, quite close to each other, they would slowly move closer to one another. This is because humans have mass therefore they have a gravitational field.

How does jumping on the moon compare to jumping on Earth?

Jumping on the moon is different from jumping on Earth because the moon has weaker gravity, so you can jump higher and farther. This is because the moon's gravity is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity.
