Explanation:

We feel weightlessness i space or satellite because when we are on earth their are lots of factors affecting on us i.e., air, physical masses, gravity.... but in space there is no air, no physical masses, gravity so it will be weightlessness

Answer:

Astronauts feel weightless in satellites.

This is because of the following reason.

Satellites rotate around the Earth due to presence of a centripetal force. Now the satellites accelerate towards the Earth with an acceleration equal to gravity.

So the net reaction force experienced by the astronauts = acceleration of the astronauts - gravitational acceleration

=> net reaction force = g - g = 0 ( zero).

Since the reaction force experienced by the astronauts is zero, the experience weightlessness.

Hope you will be able to understand.
