Jan 10, 2017 · On Earth, a good leap can clear over half a metre (1.6 feet) in a second. But hop with the same force elsewhere in the Solar System - someplace like the Moon, Mars, or even a comet - and all bets are off, due to the different masses of those worlds.
The average jump here on Earth is about 60 centimetres (24 inches). How high you can jump on a planet depends on your strength, speed and weight, of course but also on gravity. Gravity, of course, is everywhere, not just on Earth.
How High You Could Jump on Different Planets in 3D. Gravity is what keeps your feet firmly planted on the ground. That’s why the average person can only jump as high as 1.5 feet straight up.

High jump. If you can jump half a metre high on the Earth, how high could you jump on other objects in the Solar System? Caution: take care when jumping on small bodies - you may never come back down.
Getting satellites into orbit is hard enough - they need to be hurled into space with enough energy to reach around 26,000km/h. But staying in orbit means avoiding losing energy to the Earth's atmospheric drag.
Jun 20, 2023 · Everyone jumps differently, of course, but the average jump height on Earth is around 23.6 inches (60 centimeters) without getting into high jump techniques. So, given a suitable lunar...

Oct 6, 2020 · Communications don’t occur instantaneously. They’re bound by a universal speed limit: the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second. For spacecraft close to Earth, this time delay — or communications latency — is almost negligible. However, farther from Earth, latency can become a challenge.
