The correct statement is: The force of gravity acting on the astronauts is weaker on the moon than on Earth.

This is why astronauts appear to bounce when walking on the moon. The gravitational force on the moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's, which allows for higher jumps and a bouncier movement compared to walking on Earth.
