Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Spacesuits have layers that have high capacity for thermal insulation in order to-
A
regulate body temperature in the extremes of space
B
prevent the spread of bacteria that thrive in space
C
allow communication with the space station
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -prevent the spread of bacteria that thrive in space. regulate body temperature in the extremes of space. allow communication with the space station. prevent the astronaut from sweating inside the suit.

Detailed explanation-2: -The flexible parts of the suit are made from as many as 16 layers of material. The layers perform different functions, from keeping oxygen within the spacesuit to protecting from space dust. Closest to the astronaut’s skin, the cooling garment makes up the first three layers.

Detailed explanation-3: -How Stuff Works finds that “Spacesuits designed by NASA for Apollo astronauts used heating elements to protect astronauts from extreme cold. It includes rechargeable lithium polymer batteries and flexible heating coils. The garment can keep you toasty at very cold temperatures."

Detailed explanation-4: -Underneath the spacesuit, astronauts wear a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment. Tubes are woven into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the entire body except for the head, hands and feet. Water flows through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during the spacewalk.

Detailed explanation-5: -The suit is equipped to regulate an astronaut’s temperature as he or she endures the extreme heat of 250 degrees Fahrenheit in the Sun and-250 degrees Fahrenheit in the shadows. The suit must also be able to regulate the air inside to make sure the astronaut can breathe.

Detailed explanation-6: -It’s designed to keep the body cool. This is necessary because otherwise, all of the other layers of a spacesuit would cause the astronaut to overheat. There are also seven layers of mylar insulation. This insulation is specially designed to maintain a consistent temperature regardless of external changes.
