They don't. They have just as much gravitational force on them as you and me. The difference is the two initial frames of reference. You and I are being held down to planet. They are "falling" around the planet in an orbital free fall.

How do astronauts prevent muscle and bone loss in space?
Astronauts have to do routine workouts while in space. This is because the less gravity requires a less physical demand on their bodies and when they return to Earth the muscles are weaker and they can have a hard time getting use to our gravitational pull.
How many hours of sleep do astronauts get a night?
Less than 8 hours.
How much living space do astronauts have in a rocket?
As there is less space , and three men share the craft the amount of space will be less.
Do astronauts require less or more sleep while they are in space?
Astronauts require less sleep than normal; Theoretically because the astronauts always have to be alert in a dangerous setting like space.
Why do astronauts need white space suits?
White reflects more light. Less coolant is needed in the suit.
How can the mass and distance increase or desrease the gravitational force?
More mass --> more gravitational force Greater distance --> less gravitational force
If the sun contracted a smaller volume how would it affect the gravitational force on its surface?
The gravitational force of the aun will be less and week
What happens to the gravitational force between two objects reduced?
The gravitational force will get less if you move the objects further apart.
How does the gravitational force between 2 objects that have small masses compare to the gravitational force between large objects?
If the objects are the same distance apart (center to center), then the gravitational force between two less massive objects will be less than the gravitational force between two more massive objects.
What is force of gravitation?
The gravitational force of Venus is 1 kg equals 0.88 kgs. So, slightly less than that of Earth's gravitational force.
Does the increase between two objects increase or decrease the gravitational force between them?
At a greater distance, the gravitational force becomes less.
How come you weigh less on the moon?
less gravitational force pulling you down.
How can uranus have 14 times as much mass as earth yet the gravitational force is less?
The gravitational force is set by the mass but also by how far away you are.
How the gravitational force of earth is different from gravitational force of moon?
less gravity if you weight 180 pound on the moon you weight only 30 pound
Which four planets have a less gravitational force pull than earth?
Gravitational pull is less for Mercury, Venus, Mars and Uranus. And th eother planets have higher gravitational pull.
What is gravirtitional force?
Gravitational force is a force that acts between any objects that have mass. It is proportional to both masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In other words, greater mass means more gravitational force, greater distance means less gravitational force.
How does the pull of gravity change when you get farther from the earth?
As you get farther from the Earth, you attract the Earth with less gravitational force, and the Earth attracts you with less gravitational force. The two forces remain equal as they both decrease.
