Weight is caused by being pulled down by a planet, therefore it changes from planet to planet. When in space we orbit a planet and the acceleration of the orbit counter-acts the weight - resulting in weightlessness.

Does a gallon of water weigh the same in space?
no it does not weighs the same
Does a brick weigh the same on earth as it does in space?
Weight is a measure of gravity's pull against some object. No a brick will not weigh the same on earth as in space or on the moon. It will, however, have the same mass.also weight and mass IS DIFFERENT weight is a measure of gravity pull against objects mass basicly mean how many atoms
Would you weigh less or more in space?
You would weigh less, but your mass would stay the same. Weight is a result of gravity, mass is an inherent property of matter.
How much would you weigh in space?
You would weigh nothing. You still have mass, but mass is different than weight. Ever wonder why they say you are "weightless" in space? It's because of that: you would weigh nothing in space.

Nothing - there is no force acting on it - it's mass stays the same and would be what it is on earth
Does the space shuttle benefit everyone?
it benefits everyone because we can learn more about space
What weighs less in space frozen or liquid water?
In a micro gravity, if the mass of each are equal they would 'weigh' the same.
