This is related to gravity and vaccuum, which says that when the body is in vaccuum, its weight is lost. I need any examples.

I don't understand the votes to close on the grounds of being unclear as to what is being asked. It's quite clear what is being asked, and what is being asked is a duplicate of many existing questions on weightlessness. – David Hammen Jan 13 '16 at 12:56

This is not related to vacuum, the statement just tells you that far away from big masses like the Earth there is no gravity acting on a body. In this case the gravitational field $\vec g=0$ and therefore $\vec F_g=m\vec g=0$.

1This answer misses the point. Astronauts and cosmonauts on the International Space Station are in a near weightless state, yet the gravitational force is about 88% of standard gravity at that altitude. – David Hammen Jan 13 '16 at 13:01

In this case see a different answer of mine: http://physics.stackexchange.com/q/109636/ – Photon Jan 13 '16 at 21:39
