Answer 1

The correct statement is:

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

On the Moon, gravity is approximately 1/6th that of Earth's gravity, which causes astronauts to bounce when they walk, giving them a lighter and more buoyant feeling compared to walking on Earth.
