would only be able to crawl along the ground, if that.

Yet, none of these happen to us; Allah has creat-

gravitational force. However, this gravitational pull is

less than the one on Earth. Therefore, it is not possible

for you to survive on the Moon. On television, you have
probably seen how astronauts walk on the Moon.

Could we spend our entire life this way? Definitely not.

Now let us continue our journey by visiting the

planets within the gravitational pull of the sun.
