The greater size an object made of matter is, the greater its gravity. Because the moon is much smaller than Earth, there is also much less gravity. Because of this, astronauts whose weight would have kept them firmly planted to Earth weighed less on the moon and were probably required to change their walking habits in order to keep from stepping too high or too far.
Dancing on the moon may be hard as there is less gravity there, as the astronauts found out, their steps were more like hops, as one astronaut said That is the kangaroo hop.
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.
Earth's only moon enjoys 1/6th of the Earth's gravitational pull. When stepping from one foot to another it takes longer for your foot to "fall" to the ground. At a slow pace, the astronauts could walk normally. Once you increase your speed, the time to fall back to the ground becomes a problem with your balance. NASA suggested that the astronauts hop like a kangaroo. Armstrong found this was awkward. He devised a method of "lope" where he hopped back and forth from one foot to the other.
No astronauts have died on the moon. All astronauts who have traveled to the moon returned safely to Earth.
Yes. Kangaroos hop. That is their primary means of locomotion.
No astronauts littered the moon.
A Tricera-hops!
While on the moon the astronauts lived in their lunar module.
There were a total of 12 astronauts who walked on the moon.
The statement that astronauts on the Moon are weightless is true.
to hop
Hop and live on almost no water.
