Because of gravity. Depending on the gravity, the austronaut weights more or less. If the gravitational pull is bigger then the astronaut will weight more but if the gravitational pull is weaker then the astronaut will weight less, even though the mass of the austronaut doesn't change.

∙ 8y agoAs they have no gravity in a space shuttle, an astronaut will not have as much pressure put on their muscles to move etc, So they lose muscle mass. When astronauts go on longer voyages they have to exercise for at least two hours a day to retain a healthy weight.
there is no gravitational pull on it

How do astronauts change their clothes?
They simply change there clothes! The astronauts don't always have the space suits on! That's only when they actually go into space. When there in a space station or rocket they have air tanks that replenish the air in the rocket and an air pressure controller.
Why does weight not mass change with location What if your explanation should include the example of astronauts in space?
Because mass is how much matter you're made of and moving around in space can't change that, but your weight changes because it depends on the other masses around you, like for example the Earth, the moon, or another planet.
