Which astronaut stayed in orbit while the others landed?

Michael Collins (The passage says Michael Collins stayed in orbit, circling alone.)

Why could the astronauts bounce as they walked on the Moon?

The Moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's (The text explains the Moon's gravity is weaker, so they could bounce.)

What does the last paragraph emphasize about the landing?

It came from years of planning and teamwork by many people (The final paragraph credits thousands of workers and careful planning and teamwork.)

In the passage, staying "in orbit" means:

circling around the Moon without landing (Collins "stayed in orbit above, circling alone": he kept traveling in a path around the Moon while his crewmates went down to the surface.)

Footsteps on the Moon: Level 3 Reading Comprehension Questions

In July 1969, a spacecraft called Apollo 11 carried three astronauts toward the Moon. After traveling for several days, two of them, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, climbed into a small landing craft and drifted down to the Moon's surface. The third astronaut, Michael Collins, stayed in orbit above, circling alone while he waited for his crewmates to return.

When Armstrong stepped onto the gray, dusty ground, millions of people on Earth watched on television. He and Aldrin collected rocks, took photographs, and planted a flag. The Moon's gravity is much weaker than Earth's, so they could bounce as they walked.

The landing was the result of years of work by thousands of engineers, scientists, and workers. It showed that careful planning and teamwork could achieve something that had once seemed impossible.
