What If Earth Were Smaller Than It Is?

Imagine Earth is like a small ball instead of a big planet. If it were smaller, you would feel lighter because gravity is weaker, like standing on a trampoline instead of the ground. Your jumps would be higher, and your bones might not grow as strong. Also, the sky might look bigger since Earth would take up less space around you.
