Only from the object's frame of reference because the object's inertial motion is equal to the gravitational acceleration.
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration (W=mg), so you would feel weightless, but your mass stays the same.

What else can I help you with?
When does weightless occur?
During free fall.
Objects in free fall are weightless True or false?
False. Objects in free fall are still subject to the force of gravity, so they have weight. However, they experience weightlessness because they are in a state of constant acceleration towards the Earth, causing the sensation of weightlessness.
What is the difference between a truly weightless object and a obect that is weightless because it is free fall?
A truly weightless object experiences no gravitational force, such as an object in deep space far from any massive body. An object that is weightless due to free fall is still under the influence of gravity but is in a state of free fall where the force of gravity and the acceleration of the object cancel out, making it feel weightless.
Where does an astronaut start to feel weightless?
when the rockets stop firing, astronauts begin free fall (weightless).
Why isn't and object free fall really weightless?
rawr
Does gravity mean something can be weightless?
Something can only be weightless in zero gravity.
Why do astronauts appear to be weightless in a spacecraft orbiting earth?
Free fall
Why are gases weightless?
they are not. if anything has mass, it has weight (unless in free fall).
Because of free fall astronauts appear this way in orbit?
Because of free fall, astronauts in orbit appear weightless and float within their spacecraft. This is due to the spacecraft and everything inside it, including the astronauts, all falling towards Earth together at the same rate. The sensation of weightlessness is a result of this continuous state of free fall.
Are objects in freefall weightless?
Objects in freefall are not weightless; they still have mass and therefore experience the force of gravity. However, in freefall, they are accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, which gives the sensation of weightlessness as the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration.
Are objects in communications satellites weighless?
Objects in communication satellites still have weight, as weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. However, in the microgravity environment of space, objects appear weightless because they are in free fall around the Earth.
Are objects in a free-fall completely weightless?
Only from the object's frame of reference because the object's inertial motion is equal to the gravitational acceleration. Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration (W=mg), so you would feel weightless, but your mass stays the same.
