Science on Instagram: "Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the center of a planet or moon. The strength of gravity depends on the planet’s mass and size, so it is not the same everywhere. On Earth, gravity is about 9.8 m/s², which we call 1 g. On Mercury and Mars, gravity is weaker (about 0.38 times Earth’s), so you would weigh much less there. Venus has almost the same gravity as Earth (about 0.91 times Earth’s). The Moon has very weak gravity — only about 1.6 m/s², or one-sixth of E

Science on Instagram: "The height of your jump changes on different planets because gravity varies from planet to planet. Lower gravity lets you jump higher, while higher gravity limits your jump. Here’s a short note: • Earth – Normal jump height (baseline, e.g., ~0.5 m for an average person). • Moon – About 6 times higher than on Earth due to weak gravity (1/6th of Earth’s gravity). • Mercury – Slightly higher than Earth (about 2.6 times higher). • Venus – Almost same as Earth, a little lower (
