🚀 Part 1: Understanding Gravity

Did you know? Your jump height changes on different planets because gravity is different! Use these conversion factors to calculate jump heights:

Conversion Factors:

• Moon: Multiply Earth jump height by 6
• Mars: Multiply Earth jump height by 2.6
• Mercury: Multiply Earth jump height by 2.6
• Jupiter: Multiply Earth jump height by 0.4
• Saturn: Multiply Earth jump height by 0.94
• Venus: Multiply Earth jump height by 1.1
