Fascinating video shows how high you could jump on different planets

A 3D animated YouTube video has amazed viewers by illustrating how high one could jump on different planets in our solar system.

Familiar with the phrase 'reach for the stars'?

There may be certain places in our solar system where this is possible.

A fascinating video demonstrates the incredible heights you could achieve with a jump on various planets and moons, leaving viewers amazed by the results.

In the YouTube video, a 3D animated astronaut-looking man represents the 'average jump height of a person' on Earth as well as other planets and moons in our solar system.

Okay, he might not exactly be reaching for the stars, but he does come pretty darn close in one instance.

The video opens by establishing the baseline height, demonstrating the average jump on Earth at 0.45 metres, where the crazier jumps are to follow.

From there, it takes viewers on a journey to Jupiter, where the weakest jump records at 0.17 m, followed by Neptune at 0.39 meters.

0.49 m is shown to be the average jump height across Venus, Uranus and Saturn, whilst, Mars and Mercury have a much bigger height of 1.19 m.

The jump height of Earth's moon allows up to 2.72 m.

And Pluto's lack of gravity shoots the spaceman up to 7.11 m. Shortly after, the spaceman reaches an astounding height of 57 m on Uranus's moon, Miranda.

The spaceman then approaches Mars's moon, Phobos, where the real excitement begins.

Phobos has less than one one-thousandth of the gravity on Earth.

Saluting to the camera beforehand, he jumps so high he floats out of the screen's view entirely, reaching a whopping height of 773 m.

If you're curious as to whether he comes back, the video creators clarify that the spaceman would eventually return to the surface as he 'would not have enough speed to escape its gravity.'

The video then humorously notes that it's 'not possible to jump' on the sun's surface, as you would probably first burn to death.

Viewers are amazed by the illustration of something even NASA astronauts will probably never experience in their lifetime.

One commented: 'I know its just for example but i find it very funny to imagine an astronaut getting to travel to every planet in our solar system only just to jump once and leave haha.'

On the topic of Phobos' extreme gravity, one YouTuber replied: 'I can imagine Trampolines going out of business once we reach Phobos' and another read: 'Jumping on Phobos = instant launch to space.'

Another viewer pointed out the comparison between the two planets, responding: 'Love how Mars is like twice the mass of Mercury but Mercury is so dense that both have similar surface gravity.'
