Something can only be weightless in zero gravity.
A shadow is something that is weightless but can be seen.
Objects in freefall are not weightless; they still have mass and therefore experience the force of gravity. However, in freefall, they are accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, which gives the sensation of weightlessness as the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration.
Gravity is a non-contact force that acts between two masses.
A truly weightless object experiences no gravitational force, such as an object in deep space far from any massive body. An object that is weightless due to free fall is still under the influence of gravity but is in a state of free fall where the force of gravity and the acceleration of the object cancel out, making it feel weightless.
weightless means mass without acceleration of gravity massless means no mass and hence no weight even with gravity acceleration WEIGHT = MASS x ACCELERATION In orbit around earth where apparent zero-gravity exists you are weightless, but still have mass
Yes, but they do have the same mass. Weight is based off the effect of gravity pulling something down, because there is no gravity in space astronauts are weightless.
Something is weightless when there are no gravitational forces acting upon it.

There is no gravity in space, everything is weightless.

gravity and mass...
They actually are weightless, due to the fact there is no gravity in space. However a sky-diver would say he/she feels weightless, but they are experiencing free-fall.
Because of gravity
A truly weightless object experiences no gravitational force, such as an object in deep space far from any massive body. An object that is weightless due to free fall is still under the influence of gravity but is in a state of free fall where the force of gravity and the acceleration of the object cancel out, making it feel weightless.

People are weightless if in zero gravity in outer space. On earth, weightlessness can be simulated for training in a rapidly descending aeroplane.
