One of the rules of good writing is the show, don't tellshow, don't tell 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?
