Because there is almost no gravity in space. When a person is in orbit just outside of earth, the outward acceleration will cancel out the force of gravity, giving a person zero weight.

How do you change weight on earth to weight in space?
divde your weight by 0.6
Do astronauts weight change in space?
Yes
Do an astronauts weight change in space?
Yes
Does your weight change if you travel to Jupiter?
In space your weight changes by 5%.
Why do objects weight change as they travel through space?
Because weight is based on gravity, and gravity changes throughout space.
Does your weight change if you take a spaceship into space?
Yes, the force of gravity is less in space, so your weight is less too.
Does the mass of an astronaut change when she or he is visiting the International Space Station?
The mass of an astronaut does not change when she is visiting the International Space Station. Mass is a property that does not change, but the weight of a person does change in space.
What will change if you go in outer space?
Your weight Oxygen level
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
Does an objects weight change in space?
Yes, because weight it determined by gravity. Its mass however, does not.
Do weight change in the space?
Yes it does! Because of the gravity on earth we get pulled down, but in space there ain't anything like this, so we all weight 0kg
Is the weight of the space shuttle the same on earth as it is in space?
Its mass is the same(ignoring spent fuel) but the weight is a result of the gravitational pull, which is different in space. Actually the space shuttle never gets far enough from the earth for it's weight to change. The reason it seems weightless is because it is in free-fall.
