Question

Mercury, a planet in our Solar System, and Callisto, a moon of the planet Jupiter, are about the same size. However, Mercury’s mass is about 3 times greater than Callisto’s mass. Why could a future astronaut (perhaps you!) jump higher on Callisto than on Mercury?

Answer 1

Answer:

Callistos mass is less therefore it has less gravity (gravitational force is proportional to mass). Although there the same size it would be t

Explo jump on Callisto. An extreme example of this would be a black hole compared to earth, a black hole as big as the earth would immediatly kill you becuase of its strong gravitational force, whereas earth would pull you much less becuase it is much less massive.

Answer 2

You may jump higher because the more the mass of the planet, the more gravitational force. There is less mass(and gravity) on Callisto so you wouldn’t be weighed down as much and can jump higher. Whereas on Jupiter there is more weight holding you down.
