Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Gravity is the only force that draws you back to the ground once you jump. So the height of your jump solely depends on the gravitational force. The acceleration due to gravity (g) for the moon is 1/6th of that of the earth. So the downward force on the surface of the moon is much less than that of the earth, thus making it possible for us to jump higher on the moon's surface.
