One of the rules of good writing is the [show, don't tell](https://writers.stackexchange.com/questions/761/the-rules-of-writing) rule. I want to create a realistic fantasy world, so I've thought about details like astronomy, geography and so on. For instance, this world has a **lighter gravity than Earth** , which allows flying heavy animals and living on higher mountain tops. But how could I show this for the readers **without telling them**? And without referring to Earth?
