    this is because of the artificial gravity induced by the rotating space station, it makes it possible for the astronaut to have a weight.

    Explanation:

    An astronaut in the International Space Station cannot stand on a weighing scale. But an astronaut inside a rotating space station (not yet built) can stand on a weighing scale. Explain. Your answer

    An astronaut in the International Space Station cannot stand on a weighing scale because of what is known as weightlessness. Outside space, the body has microgravity. Weightlessness is the complete or near-complete absence of the sensation of weight.

    solution

    an astronaut inside a rotating space station (not yet built) can stand on a weighing scale because there is a phenomenal known as artificial gravity that makes it possible

    Artificial gravity is the creation of an inertial force that mimics the effects of a gravitational force ... In the context of a rotating space station it is the normal force provided by the relative velocities with which an astronaut will change position within it.
