Final answer:
The amount of gravity in space can be higher and lower in different places, with microgravity conditions like those on the ISS leading to nearly weightless environments, and the Moon's gravity being about 1/6th of Earth's, affecting both safe fall distances and jump heights.
Step-by-step explanation:
Compared to the gravity on Earth, the amount of gravity in space can be e) higher and lower in different places. While microgravity conditions such as those on the International Space Station result in a sensation of weightlessness due to free-fall orbit around Earth, actual gravitational pull is only slightly less than on Earth's surface - around 90% of Earth's gravity.
On the Moon, however, gravity is much weaker at about 1/6th of Earth's gravity. This means that an astronaut could safely fall from a height six times greater on the Moon compared to Earth and an astronaut's jump could also be six times higher if their takeoff speed were the same on the Moon as it is on Earth.
The difference arises because weight depends on local force of gravity, and the force of gravity varies significantly in different locations in space.
