They feel weightless because they are indeed weightless when in orbit, in effect in freefall. Gravity tries to pull them down but the spacecraft motion carries it "past the planet" in an arc that is part of a circular or elliptical orbit. If the spacecraft slows down, it will be pulled toward the Earth by the considerable gravitational force.
If an astronaut tries to use an ordinary scale to measure her weight, all attempts will be useless. The vessel she is in is under the influence of Earth's gravity, it is true, as is her body. But the vessel and her body are in the same orbit, at the same velocity. If she is motionless at the center of the vessel, no unbalanced forces will push her "down" toward the floor or hull of the vessel. And if there are some unbalanced forces, they are so small as to be negligible for all practical purposes. She will not be able to 'step' onto a scale, unless she is in some kind of rotating vessel, which would provide a kind of artificial gravity.
Weightlessness is the effect that astronauts enjoy in space.

Using the Vomit Comet to experience moments of temporary weightlessness.
my answer is gravity
they are falling through space around earth

Weightlessness.
You can approximate weightlessness in a swimming pool. NASA astronauts practice maneuvers under water.
they play football
If astronauts don't exercise in space, weightlessness eventually causes there muscles to shrink?
The weightless astronaut landed on Mars, which has no gravity.
The effects of weightlessness on humans is explored during the work done by astronauts. This helps with advancements in medical and technological fields.
