Why are the astronaut suits insulated?
Space is cold!Sunlight is very intense in space, causing rapid heating of exposed surfaces. Spacesuits are white to reduce this solar heating effect, but it doesn't eliminate it.
How does the pressure in the astronaut's suit help the body work?
The pressure in an astronaut's suit helps venous return; in other words, it helps blood get from body tissues back to the heart.
Why do astronauts wear spacesuits in the outer space?

Such as communication devices to speak to each other or to their ship or base back on earth.

ya man they are
Why do we wear spacesuits in space?

Why astronaut wear space suit?
Actually they are not anymore. You might remember spacesuits used during the project Mercury to be shiny silver, but all spacesuits designed since the 60s have a flat white outer covering. Retaining heat is not an issue in a spacesuit, quite the opposite. All the heat generated by the human body must be removed from the suit. All spacesuits have a cooling device built-in and there is very little if any ability to heat the suit. Usually there are little heaters in the fingertips but that's about it.
