A Correct answer
Explanation

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. Therefore, a person weighing 60 kg on Earth would weigh only about 10 kg on the Moon. This is why astronauts could jump much higher on the lunar surface. The Moon still has gravity (it's what keeps astronauts from floating away), it's just weaker.
