In space there is ZERO GRAVITY which means there's no force of gravity acting on a body as in darkness of universe...

WEIGHTLESSNESS means there's force of gravity acting on the body but in such a way so it cancels the effect.

Hope this helped pls mark as the brainiest answer if helped....

Difference between weightlessness on earth and weightlessness in space is:

  • The gravitational force acting on the astronaut in space is unquestionably less than that acting on the Earth's surface.
  • However, it is insufficient to explain a significant weight loss.
  • If the space station is orbiting at a height of 400 kilometers above the Earth's surface, the amount of g will be reduced from 9.8 to 8.7 m/s2.
  • While it does help astronauts lose weight, it doesn't account for the sensations of being completely weightless.
  • The lack of a surface to support them while they free-fall into the Earth gives them the sense of being completely weightless.
