How high can you jump on the Moon?

Well, the gravitational field of the Moon at its surface only 

162.2 cm/sec/sec
-----------------  = 0.16
983  cm /sec/sec
of the Earth in terms of the acceleration of gravity, so this means that for the same energy expended, you should be able to jump about 6.1 times higher.
