It generally means being without weight. This can happen in two situations - if an object is somewhere where there is no gravitational field then it will have no weight. More commonly, if an object is falling it effectively has no weight - when astronauts orbit the Earth they are are in freefall - they are continually falling towards the Earth, but they are so far from it that the curve of their fall matches the curve of the Earth and they continually go round (or orbit) the Earth. They are still close enough to Earth so that the Earth's gravity effects them, the free fall condition makes them feel weightless.
