If the temperature on the moon is so cold than how is it possible that astronauts don't freeze on the moon?

The astronauts wore temperature controlled protective suits. The suits kept them from freezing in the shadows and from burning up in direct sunlight.


What did the astronauts need to wear on the moon?

They wore a layer of water-cooled undergarments (LCGs) to keep their bodies from overheating. Over that they wore their EVA suits which was of a rubber pressure vessel surrounded by beta fabric. The suit consisted of a lower section (legs), the torso, boots, gloves, and a helmet. Over top of the helmet they wore a the Lunar Environment Visor Assembly (LEVA) which had a gold visor and some sun-shields. On their backs they wore a Personal Life Support System (PLiSS). This pack contained an oxygen tank, CO2 scrubbers, water system for the LCGs, and communications equipment. All of this was necessary on the moon's surface.


Did astronauts wear g-suits when they landed on the moon?

No they wore space suits. G-suits are used to counteract the forces of gravity endured by, for example, fighter pilots during high delta-v maneuvers. The Apollo astronauts did not experience high g-forces during landing.


What were the suits made of that the astronauts wore on the moon?

The suits worn on the Moon were similar to those worn on space missions when an astronaut is exposed to space outside a vehicle. They are essentially portable space vehicles: environmental units, containing air, water, cooling, heating, a fishbowl helmet with silvered visor, and full micrometeor (armor) layers. They have two layers, the inner enclosure and the heavy shielded outer layer. The suits were bulky, weighing about 200 pounds (90 kg) on Earth. In the reduced lunar gravity, the weight of the astronaut and his suit was much lower, so astronauts could hop rather than walk. The joints on the legs were not fully flexible at the knee. Astronauts compared the suits to "rigid clothing" with only the arms and gloved hands having good flexibility. The lunar suits had about 6 hours of rechargeable use, and a 30 minute emergency supply of power and oxygen.


What watch did the astronauts wore to the moon?

-The watch worn by both Armstrong and Aldrin was the Omega Speedmaster Professional. Swiss watch, with a great reputation. Been around forever, and you can still see this brand advertised in various men's magazines. NASA never had an "official" watch, but this one was approved for use. Also, Armstrong left his on the Lunar Module, due to some instrument failure inside. Thus, the watch worn by Aldrin was the first watch on the moon. -Outside, that is...
