An astronaut way out in space is considered to be "weightless" because...

• His mass is so small relative to earth that gravity doesn't affect him.

• Gravitational force decreases greatly over long distances

• Gravitational force pushes objects away from each other at long distances.

• Objects far away from earth have less mass.
