How Gravity Pull Things
Gravity is what keeps your feet firmly planted. Planted on the ground that's why the average person can only jump approximately one and a half feet straight-up but if we had to live on another planet say Venus or Saturn. Let's find out what difficulties we'd have to endure there. We'll start with Mercury because it's the closest to the sun
The gravity on this planet is less than half of what exists on earth, so you'll be able to jump about four feet high, assuming you can with stand the temperatures on the sunny side. The heat must reach 800 degrees to be there is like standing neck deep in dark red lava on the slopes of a volcano Oh boy, the knight won't bring much respite either scorching air will quickly chill to minus 280 degrees, you'll also have to be patient, because one day on Mercury lasts for 176 earth days hopping from this inhospitable place to even less welcoming you'd be able to see earth from Venus. If not for the whirling mass of clouds above, they create a monstrous green house effect, as well as immense atmospheric pressure. If you were to jump here, you'd make it just shy of 1.7 feet high because of the mass and size of the earth and Venus is nearly identical to Venus being a little smaller
Besides the constant temperature of a blazing furnace, rain here wouldn't bring relief to the clouds up there are made of sulfur. Acid-skipping our home planet, we go straight for its moon Luna, as it's otherwise called.
Here is a fraction of that on earth so if you jump, you'll gain nearly nine inches feet in the air and won't touch the ground again for several seconds, it's hard to believe this desolate piece of space rock makes the habit of tides on earth and if you stay on the moon long enough as in a couple million years
If you can jump from Olympus Mons to Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, you'll see how much further it's gone in the solar system. Then we'll visit a massive asteroid that accounts for one-third of the total mass in the main asteroid belt. If you jump there, you'll be lifted almost 52 feet in the air. It's the largest asteroid in our solar system, and it's so large that it was later classified as a dwarf planet
If Ganymede had a hard surface to jump from, you'd be able to jump as high as 1.4 feet in the air giant of the solar system Uranus, another giant planet with nine and a half moons but far fewer, is next on our path.
Nearly as high as on our planet Saturn. It is 30 times farther away from the sun than we are, and it is our solar system's last proven planet. Uranus also has the lowest minimum temperature.
Neptune's moons
Hold your breath! Our final destination is Eris, a dwarf planet that travels in and out of the Kuiper Belt, a second asteroid belt that is 20 times wider than the one between Mars and Jupiter. Jumping on Eris's surface would take you up about 18 feet, and if astronomers hadn't reconsidered, who knows if we would have even more planets later? Oops, the universe really doesn't care what we call planets or moons
