A man can jump on moon six times as high as on earth. why?

g(earth) =9.81m/s^2
g(moon)= (9.81/6) m/s^2.
ie, acceleration due to gravity on moon is 1/6 th of the acceleration due to gravity on earth.As a result the weight of the same body is also 1/6 th as that on the surface of the earth.Due to this reason a man can jump six times higher on moon than on earth.
