Answer:

Low gravity

Step-by-step explanation:

The moon has lower gravity than Earth, therefor when someone jumps, they will not return to the surface automatically.

gravity is stronger on the earth, and gravity is what brings you back down

so, if there's less gravity, then there's more air time
