Detailed explanation-1: -The suits provide the proper pressure for the body and supply astronauts with water to drink and oxygen to breathe. The spacesuit worn for spacewalks outside the International Space Station is called the extravehicular mobility unit, or EMU.
Detailed explanation-2: -Current spacecraft have multiple bumper shields of thin aluminium sheets, a net of Kevlar and epoxy (materials high in hydrogen that are also used in military and fire-fighting gear), and air gaps in between to slow down radiation particles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Also because of the lack of atmosphere, the astronauts would be subjected to extreme temperatures in outer space. Hence space suits are designed to protect astronauts against extreme heat and cold. Why do astronauts wear special protective suits when they go to the moon?
