How high does a jump become a leap?

Question

at what height is a jump classified as a leap

Answer 1

I always thought that a jump was a straight up and down movement.  A leap on the other hand involves moving forward for backward.  Thats as much as I know.

Answer 2

Yes, I too would have thought a jump was over something, on the spot (or near enough) and a leap something that involves a bit of distance.  But then what about the "long jump" in sport?  Why not call it the "leap"?

Answer 3

he was right, a jump is trying to get more air and get higher,  i think a leap is where you go for distance

Answer 4

A jump is when you jump - whether on the spot or from something

A leap is when you literally leap from something its a different act altogether

Answer 5

the answer honey is not how high, it is how far. a jump is up and down, a leap is usually from one place to another
