What happens if you jump really high on the moon?

The Moon’s gravity is weaker than the Earth’s — in fact it is 1/6th as strong as on Earth. When you’re on the Moon, you are 1/6th as heavy. So if you weigh 75 pounds on Earth, you would only weigh about 12 pounds on the Moon. But your muscles are as strong as they are on Earth, so you can jump 6 times farther!

How high would you go if you jumped on the moon?

On the moon you can jump 9 feet (2.7 meters) in the air from a standing position compared to just 1.5 feet (0.5 m) on Earth. Near Jupiter, the most massive planet, you’d only achieve 6 inches, while on Martian moon Phobos, a jump would launch you straight out into space.

What would happen if you fell off the moon?

If the Moon did escape from Earth, the main effect would be the lack of tides on Earth. Tides are caused by the differential gravitational force on the equatorial regions: i.e. the region closer to the Moon experiences more gravitational force than the region on Earth away from the Moon.

Can you jump off the Moon to Earth?

The moon is just over a quarter of the size of the Earth. But if it had the same mass, then the moon’s gravity would be about 14 times stronger than Earth’s and you’d hardly be able to jump at all.

Can you float away if you jump on the Moon?

There is no air on the moon, but astronauts don’t float away – even when they jump.

Is it safe to jump on the Moon?

Although you can jump very high on the moon, you’ll be happy to know that there’s no need to worry about jumping all the way off into space. In fact, you’d need to be going very fast – more than 2 kilometres per second – to escape from the moon’s surface.

How high would it take to jump off the Empire State Building?

If a person was to jump off of the Empire State building in New York City; they would be falling 1,454 feet. Yikes! It would take anywhere from 8-12 seconds to fall before they would make impact depending on wind drag, friction, and body mass.

What is the speed at which you fall off the Moon?

That is a speed of 5,400 per hour that you would have to be moving at to “fall off” the moon. If you did manage to escape, and head toward earth, you would enter Earth’s atmosphere at which ever speed remained after you have escaped the moon’s gravity. Then you would either evaporate or accelerate/decelerat…
