Sorry to say but the moon does have gravity.

There is no air on the moon because the gravity there is 1/6 that of Earth. Still enough gravity to pull an astronaught back down after jumping up, but not enough to hold an atmosphere in the presence of solar wind.

They didn't jump "in the air" because the Moon has no air. It was the Moon's gravity which pulled them down. The Moon _does_ have gravity, about 1/6 as strong as on Earth. In fact, _everything_ in the univerrse has gravity: it is a basic property of matter.

Sorry, but the astronauts didn't jump into the air... The Moon doesn't have any.
Although weaker than the Earth's, the Moon's gravity held them on the surface.

That's wrong - the moon *does* have gravity - about 1/6 that of Earth. On Earth, a man might weigh 180 pounds, but he'd only way 30 pounds on the moon.

The Moon DOES have gravity. Only 1/6 as strong as Earth's, but it does have it.

1) They didn't jump into the air, since there is no air.
2) The moon IS to have gravity.

because the moon have no gravity.the gravity of the moon is 1/6 while comparing the earth.

No air on the moon, hence the requirement of spacesuits...
The moon has gravity, which is why the lunar lander needed to have rockets to launch off of the moon.

the moon has gravyity but it is only 1/6th of the earth's gravity - about 17.6 % of the earth's gravity
