 If ''M'' were the mass of the {{w|Earth}}, it would give the Schwarzschild radius for the Earth, which is about 9 mm. (If all of Earth's mass were compressed into a sphere of a bit less than 2&#8239;cm in diameter, it would become a black hole.)

 The drawing to the right of the formula shows a planet with exactly the radius ''r''<sub>jf</sub>. Thus the frog can jump really high compared to the planet's size (in this case about as high as the planet's radius), before it falls back down. This implies that the frog is jumping at somewhat less than the 4.5&#8239;m/s needed to escape.
-The title text points out that the ''r''<sub>jf</sub> of the Earth is about 1.5 light days, which is about 7 times the distance to {{w|Pluto}} (compare to the 9&#8239;mm Schwarzschild radius). Since Earth's radius is much smaller than this, no frogs will be able to escape, so all frogs that stray into Earth's gravitational well would collect here on Earth. As far as we know, all the frogs in the Solar System are on Earth{{Citation needed}}, so the data apparently matches the theory. However, the reasoning is incorrect, as many other astronomical bodies in our solar system also have ''r''<sub>jf</sub> greater than their physical radius. If a frog were to be on any of those other bodies, it wouldn't be able to jump away to fall to Earth. Furthermore, five Solar System bodies (the Sun and the four giant planets) have gravity wells greater than Earth's, and therefore larger ''r''<sub>jf</sub> and greater ability to collect any frogs hopping around in interplanetary space. A flawed argument neither supports nor refutes the conclusion, although it is true as far as we know that all frogs in the solar system do live on Earth. Earth's ''r''<sub>jf</sub> exceeding its physical radius does accurately explain why, after evolving on Earth, no frogs have jumped to other celestial objects.

 If you were to take a frog off the earth and put it in a tiny frog space suit, which somehow did not unduly inhibit its movement, it could jump off any number of the smaller bodies in the solar system. However, few of these bodies are small/low-mass enough for a frog to escape them, ''and'' large enough and close enough for us to observe them and accurately estimate their escape velocities. (The diameter of asteroid {{w|4942 Munroe}} is known to be about 3.45&#8239;km, but its shape and mass are unknown. Its surface has an [https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=2004942 exceptionally high albedo of 0.936], which suggests that the surface is mostly some kind of ice.
