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.
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.

An object in free fall appears weightless because it is falling under the influence of gravity alone, with no other forces acting on it. This gives the illusion that the object is floating or moving effortlessly through the air.
An object in free fall appears to have constant acceleration due to gravity, which means that its velocity increases as it falls. It appears weightless during free fall because the only force acting on it is gravity.
During free fall.
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.
An object is weightless when it is in free fall, such as when an astronaut is orbiting the Earth in the International Space Station. In this situation, the object is technically still affected by gravity but experiences a sensation of weightlessness because it is falling at the same rate as its surroundings.
when the rockets stop firing, astronauts begin free fall (weightless).
Something can only be weightless in zero gravity.
Free fall
they are not. if anything has mass, it has weight (unless in free fall).
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.
