Any object that has mass has weight even in space. If an astronaut weighs 195 pounds while standing on the planet then he/she will also weigh 195 pounds while in space. Earths gravity, which determined the weight, will exert the same force on this astronaut because the mass is the same. While in space, it may appear the astronaut is "floating", he/she is actually in free fall. What this means is, as they travel around the planet they are in reality "falling" to Earth but, for every inch they fall, the planet move an inch out of their way.
