They will both hit the ground at the same time, as there is no air resistance in a vacuum, and weight does not determine which object will fall faster even where there is gravity.

Whichever one you drop first will hit the ground first. If you drop them simultaneously, and they don't interfere with each other on the way down, then they will hit the ground simultaneously.

If an elephant and a feather both left a tree at the same time on Earth, how would the time they hit the ground compare? Would it be the same or which would hit first and why?
