Detailed explanation-1: -NASA astronauts wear white suits, since white is the color that reflects the most sunlight in space, and protects them from cancer-causing solar radiation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The outermost layer of a space suit, the Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment, provides thermal insulation, protection from micrometeoroids, and shielding from harmful solar radiation.
Detailed explanation-3: -To cope with the extremes of temperature, most space suits are heavily insulated with layers of fabric (Neoprene, Gore-Tex, Dacron) and covered with reflective outer layers (Mylar or white fabric) to reflect sunlight.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spacesuits also help keep astronauts at a comfortable temperature; neither too hot nor too cold. For this reason, spacesuits are made from materials and colors that reflect large amounts of energy.
