Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is a space suit insulated?
A
regulate temperature-protect against hot/cold
B
to keep the astronaut from dehydrating
C
so they can use the bathroom in space
D
so they can breathe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In space, there is no air to breath and no air pressure. Space is extremely cold and filled with dangerous radiation. Without protection, an astronaut would quickly die in space. Spacesuits are specially designed to protect astronauts from the cold, radiation and low pressure in space.

Detailed explanation-2: -Spacesuits help astronauts in many ways. The suits protect astronauts from getting too hot or cold. Spacesuits also give astronauts oxygen to breathe while they are working in space.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Because a spacesuit is sealed, it cannot dissipate the astronaut’s body heat, and the inside gets very hot. Without a cooling mechanism, the astronaut’s body temperature can keep rising, and that would eventually turn deadly.
