How High You Could Jump on Different Planets in 3D

Gravity is what keeps your feet firmly planted on the ground, which is why the average person can only jump about 1.5 feet straight up. If we had to live on another planet, such as venus or saturn, let's find out what hardships we'd have to endure. you'll also have to be patient since one day on mercury lasts 176 earth days well hopping from this inhospitable place to even less welcoming venus you'd be able to see earth from here if not for the whirling mass of clouds above they create a monstrous greenhouse effect as well as immense atmospheric pressure if you were to jump here you'd make it just shy of 1.7 feet high because the mass and size of earth and venus are almost similar with venus being a little smaller besides the constant temperature of a blazing furnace rain here wouldn't bring relief the clouds up there are made of sulfuric acid skipping our home planet we go straight for its moon luna as it's otherwise called gravity here is less than a fifth of that on earth so if you jump you'll rise almost nine feet in the air and won't touch the ground again for several seconds it's hard to believe this desolate piece of space rock makes tides on earth habit and if you stay on the moon long enough as in a couple million years you'll see how much further it's gone from our home planet next destination is mars the red planet here a vertical jump will take you about four feet in the air if there was any air to speak of of course mars has an atmosphere but it's much thinner than on earth if you stay here until evening you'll be able to marvel at a beautiful blue sunset and you can probably see a mountain from here that's olympus mons the tallest mountain in the solar system it's almost three times taller than everest and it's also a volcano by the way leaping from here to phobos one of the two moons of mars plant your feet firmly and don't be attempted to jump

You won't be able to return due to the insufficient gravity.

phobos is tiny compared to other planets in the solar system, about the size of a large asteroid. it is nearly a hundred times closer to its planet than our moon is to ours. eventually, it will be drawn dangerously close to Mars and shatter.

Scientists believe that Mars can form its own rings, similar to Saturn's. Ceres is so massive that it accounts for one-third of the mass in the asteroid belt. Moving on to the next waypoint, Jupiter is a gas giant with no solid surface, so jumping here is irrelevant, but if you must, you could only jump about 6 inches high. Jupiter is more than 10 times the size of Earth and 300 times as massive, so its gravity is enormous. There's also a perpetual storm on its surface that's been there for at least four centuries, although it's getting smaller with time. At the moment, the entire planet could fit into that storm.

The next stop is ganymede, the largest of Jupiter's moons; it's solid, so you can easily jump over 10 feet high. This moon is larger than mercury, but its mass is significantly lower, making gravity rather weak. ganymede is covered in thick ice and deep beneath that is a liquid metal core this core is why ganymede is the only moon to have a pretty strong magnetic field next we go to saturn the second gas giant of the solar system it's only slightly smaller than jupiter able to fit nine and a half moons in it but way less massive if it had any hard surface to jump from you'd be able to hop as high as 1.4 feet in the air almost as high as on our planet saturn is most famous for its rings which are particles of dust and ice left from impacts with different space objects it spins so fast around its axis that it has flattened itself almost into an oblong shape it also has 62 moons only 5 fewer than jupiter let's explore one of them right now hopping further and here we are on the largest moon of saturn titan jumping here will take you just shy of 11 feet high the atmosphere of this moon is most peculiar it's heavy and mostly consists of nitrogen making the surface appear hazy it's also made almost entirely of ice but there's rock underneath and water is only thought to be deep below near the core and one amazing thing on titan's outside are cryovolcanoes volcanoes that spew ice instead of lava

Next on our journey is uranus, another ice-based giant. compared to Jupiter and Saturn, uranus has much more ice in its atmosphere, and mantle jumping will take you about 1.7 feet higher.

At minus 377 degrees Fahrenheit, uranus has the lowest minimum temperature of all planets in the solar system; it's colder than liquid nitrogen, so you'll freeze right where you stand. triton is the only moon that moves in a retrograde orbit, which is against the rotation of neptune's axis. it also has a unique surface feature called cantaloupe terrain because of its resemblance to a melon. next is the dark and lonely pluto, formerly the ninth planet but now a dwarf planet. its gravity is somewhat lower than triton's, and you could jump over 25 feet high here.

Pluto is too small to be a planet; it's smaller than many moons, including ours. Pluto's atmosphere appears and disappears depending on its distance from the sun.

Originally, astronomers wanted to call this object the tenth planet of the solar system, but later changed their minds. If they hadn't changed their minds, we might have had even more planets afterward.
