Solution

a man feels his weight because of earth's gravity . earth pulls each object with a force towards it . this force is called as force of gravity of earth. and because of gravity man ( or any other object) feel its weight. on natural satellite , there is no gravity which pulls man towards it. so man does feel any weight or feel weightlessness.
