An astronaut's weight changes in outer space due to the reduced gravitational pull experienced in that environment. While gravity exists everywhere in space, it is weaker the farther one is from a massive body like Earth. In low Earth orbit, where the International Space Station is located, astronauts experience microgravity, making them feel weightless, even though gravity is still acting on them. This sensation is due to their state of free fall along with the spacecraft.
