KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Gloves. Astronauts must be able to work with and pick up objects while wearing spacesuit gloves. Gloves protect astronauts from the space environment and are made so spacewalkers can move their fingers as easily as possible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gloves are really important for the astronauts carrying out maintenance at the station. They’re needed to provide good grip, help maintain pressure and protect astronauts from extreme temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -The restraint and dipped glove system is easy to see in the Intravehicular (IV) gloves that astronauts wore inside the spacecraft, but a similar, more protective system comprised the lunar Extravehicular (EV) gloves that 12 astronauts wore while they worked on the surface of the Moon.

Detailed explanation-4: -Spacesuit insulation technologies protect the astronaut from extreme high and low temperatures of the space environment. However, the same insulation technology also works to keep heat released by the astronaut’s body inside the suit.
