Earth’s gravity It connects us to Earth, but on other planets it is completely different!

The gravity of any planet depends on its mass, density and size Our jump height changes accordingly. We’re going on an interplanetary jump.

Our height on earth

Let’s start with the Earth first. Average in the world up to 50 cm We can jump high. The gravitational acceleration here is 9.8 m/s², which means that we are pulled back to Earth by a strong gravitational pull.

But this force does not have the same effect on other planets as we do. On Mars, the Moon or Jupiter The situation is completely different!

Are you ready to fly on the moon?

If you jump on the moon’s surface, you can go six times higher than on Earth. The gravitational acceleration on the moon is about 1.62 m/s² Let yourself rise up to 3.6 meters It allows it. This low gravity was why the Apollo astronauts seemed to dance on the moon.

Jumping on Mars wouldn’t be bad either.

Mars has about one-third the gravity of Earth. (3.71 m/s²) This is up to 1.5 meters It means you can jump high.

On the Red Planet you can go a little higher than on Earth, but you don’t get the feeling of “flying” like on the Moon. Since your weight on the surface of Mars will be lower than on Earth, It would be easier to move.

You made us sad, Jupiter.

But there is also Jupiter, where it is almost impossible to jump! The gravitational acceleration of the giant gas planet Jupiter is 24.79 m/s² More than twice the size of Earth.

Even if you try to jump here maximum 20 centimeters you can get up. So on Jupiter you are crushed under your weight and remain tied to the ground.

What would the situation be like on Saturn, Uranus and Neptune?

Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are also giant gas planets like Jupiter and have strong gravity. Although your jumping on Saturn is not as limited as on Jupiter maximum 50-60 cm you can get up.

By making a slightly easier jump on Uranus and Neptune about half a meter It may be possible to take off.

Travel to other planets Where possible we have gone beyond jumping and even walking will be a completely new experience. What do you think?
