Gravity (jumping off different planets)
Size: medium

Gravity (jumping off different planets)
Transform Activity available to all

Have you ever seen footage of men walking on the moon? Did you notice how they seem to "jump lightly" or appear to float? Do you know why it is so? It has to do with the SIZE and the MASS of the planet that they are walking on. The SIZE is obvious... The mass is "how much matter" or "how much stuff" the planet contains. A box filled with air or the same box filled with sand have the same size, but a different mass. This is a "simpler" version of another activity found in this set. You pick planets from a set of "ready made" celestial bodies instead of using sliders to set the planet's size and mass.
