Weight of a person can never be zero, how can it come in Ratio?

Weight of a person can't be practically zero, but "theoretically" it can be. 0kg = absolute zero; hence weight is ratio.

I agree, that the weight of any object or person cannot be truly equal to zero. Although it might be 0.001kg, there is no true zero.

Agreed, in the context of weight for living beings, this quantity does not exist, because 0 kg would theoretically represent the absence of mass, but used for ideal or refrenece point.

No, but a photon is technically considered a massless object. In that sense, there is a true zero for weight. It just doesn't apply accurately to living beings or things with a definite mass.

The weight of a person can never be zero. Weight is a function of mass. If the weight of a person is zero, the person has no mass and does not exist. This is confusing.
