How High Can You Jump on Different Planets? Is It Possible to Leap Hundreds of Meters Like a Superhero on Some Planet?

On different planets, the gravity varies, so the height you can jump also changes. Let's take a look together.

Starting with Earth, the average person can jump about 0.45 meters. Then there's Jupiter—no matter how hard you try, you can only jump 0.17 meters there. Next is Neptune, where you can jump slightly less than on Earth, around 0.39 meters. On Venus, which has gravity similar to Earth's, you can jump 0.49 meters. Mars, the top choice for human space colonization, allows you to jump 1.18 meters.

The Moon, Earth's only natural satellite and the only celestial body humans have set foot on, has gravity that is one-sixth of Earth's, so you can jump 2.72 meters. Pluto, a dark and distant world, was demoted from planet status due to its small size. Here, you could jump 7.1 meters.

Vesta, one of the smallest planets in the solar system, has weaker gravity, so you could jump 15.75 meters. Titania, Uranus's largest moon, allows you to jump as high as a building with just a light hop. And finally, on Enceladus, Saturn's moon, a small jump might send you floating into space, like a superhero, leaping 773 meters.

Lastly, on the Sun, you wouldn’t be able to stand up at all, let alone jump!
