The correct statement that explains why astronauts appear to bounce when they are walking on the moon is:
The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth.
The moon's gravity is about one-sixth that of Earth's, which allows astronauts to bounce and move in a way that feels lighter and more buoyant compared to how they would walk on Earth.
