Why do astronauts weigh nothing in space?

Answer:

In space, astronauts and their spaceship still have mass and are still acted upon by Earth's gravity. In this sense, they still have weight, even though Earth's gravitational force is smaller in orbit than it is on Earth's surface. However, they do not feel their weight because nothing is pushing back on them.
