although jupiter is very massive, it is also very far away. when at its closest distance to earth of about 600 million kilometers, jupiter has a gravitational pull of 0.00013 newtons on a person with a mass of 100 kg, according to newton's law of gravity. about 7.5 million times weaker than the earth's gravity, this is roughly equivalent to the gravitational attraction of a compact car from half a meter away. similarly, the gravitational pull of the dwarf planet pluto on a person on earth is roughly equal to that of a marble 100 meters away. thus, the gravitational impact of the planets is far too small to be able to cause a person to weigh noticeably less, or stay in the air noticeably longer when jumping.
