Same upward takeoff speed. Three worlds. Which jump goes highest?
In this simplified model, the Moon wins, Mars takes second, and Earth comes third. Mars reaches about 2.6 times Earth's height; the Moon reaches about 6 times Earth's height.
MODEL: identical upward launch speed, constant near-surface gravity, no air resistance. This is an illustrated physics comparison, not a prediction of your actual jump. Real performance depends on your body, gear, terrain and other conditions. The explorer is a graphical marker; animations are illustrative and may be slowed or held at the peak.
NASA's rounded gravity values: Earth 9.8, Mars 3.7, Moon 1.6 m/s². Maximum rise h = v²/(2g).
