have many layers
B
a dark visor to absorb radiation
C
touch outer shell
D
provide for oxygen and air pressure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Astronauts have to provide their own protection in the form of space suits and space stations. These measures work very well for protecting against UV radiation, but the higher energy radiation is not completely blocked.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sun visor has a special gold coating that works like the astronaut’s sunglasses. Together, the movable sun visor and sun shades protect the astronaut from the sun’s strong rays, while still allowing a clear visual field.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gold-coated visor protects an astronaut from harmful UV rays. The helmet also directs oxygen to the mouth and nose. Under the helmet, an astronaut wears a cap that includes earphones and microphones so that the space walker can communicate with the crew aboard the ISS.
