It comes down to one thing, the mutual gravitational attraction that the 'thing' has with a nearby body like earth. The object weighs very little if the mutual attraction is very weak, and it weighs proportionally more, the greater the attraction. In the middle of space, far from any large masses, any and every object, however massive, is weightless.
