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.

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.
