Hi thank you for asking the question
Let me 1st explain about real weight and apparent weight
Real weight is due to the magnitude because of the force of gravity while apparent weight is what we feel when we are in the lift i.e the feeling of getting heavy when going up of feeling of getting light when moving down
The weight of the body will not change because the force of gravity will remain the same.But if the lift is really high from the surface of earth and
goes up to space only then the force of gravity will change and as a result our weight will change.
