explain why astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station, or on a spacewalk appear to be weightless but are not actually weightless.

Astronauts around the earth either in spaceship, a space station or on a space walk appear to be weightless because of the zero gravity in such environment.

Weight is a function of the mass and acceleration due to gravity a body has.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

In a place where acceleration due to gravity is 0, the weight would be zero and a person would appear to be weightless.
