Detailed explanation-1: -A spacesuit protects astronauts from those extreme temperatures. Spacesuits supply astronauts with oxygen to breathe while they are in the vacuum of space. The suits contain water to drink during spacewalks . They protect astronauts from being injured from impacts of small bits of space dust.
Detailed explanation-2: -The suits protect astronauts from getting too hot or cold. Spacesuits also give astronauts oxygen to breathe while they are working in space. The suits hold water to drink. They also keep astronauts from getting hurt by space dust.
Detailed explanation-3: -However, since there is no atmosphere layer in space, the sun’s harmful rays, also called radiation, can cause great harm to astronauts. Space suits have layers to protect astronauts from radiation and reflect incoming rays. Also included in the spacesuit is a gold-plated visor section to protect the astronauts’ eyes.
Detailed explanation-4: -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?
Detailed explanation-5: -Space suits provide protection from the UV rays, but they provide limited protection from particle radiation and gamma and x ray. If particles have enough energy they simply pass through the space suit.
