If an astronaut was to enter the vacuum of space without a spacesuit, the vacuum itself will make a human lose conscienceless within several seconds, and die of hypoxia within a few minutes. Also, the depressurization will cause the temperature of bodily fluids boiling to decrease, creating gas bubbles that may make the body increase to twice it's normal size, though the human will not blow up because of the elastic tissues in the body.

What is a astronauts helmet called?

An astronaut's helmet is called a space helmet or spacesuit helmet. It is a crucial component of an astronaut's spacesuit as it provides oxygen and protection in the vacuum of space.


Why is a rip in the spacesuit is so dangerous?

The oxygen that the astronaut is breathing escapes through that rip (because there is no oxygen outside of the spacesuit, diffusion makes the oxygen spread outside of the spacesuit), and eventually the astronaut dies of oxygen deprivation.the temperature helps to kill the astronaut as well.


Can you sneeze on the moon?

An astronaut would be in a sealed spacesuit when out of the spacecraft and standing on the Moon's surface. So he or she would be able to sneeze (within the confines of the spacesuit).


If an astronaut has a mass of 900kg in his spacesuit what would the weight be on Ganymede?

On Ganymede, which is a moon of Jupiter, the acceleration due to gravity is about 1.428 m/s^2. To find the weight of the astronaut's spacesuit on Ganymede, you would multiply the mass of the astronaut by the acceleration due to gravity on Ganymede. Therefore, the weight of the astronaut's 900kg spacesuit on Ganymede would be about 1286 N.


What does a feed port in a spacesuit does?

Pretty self explanatory, it is the port in which food is transported to the astronaut.


How is the spacesuit designed to protect the astronaut outside of a spacecraft?

A spacesuit contains air under pressure to protect from the vacuum in space. It must be designed with a compromise of rigidity and flexibility, so that it does not inflate like a balloon (preventing him from reentering the spacecraft) and allowing him to move and perform tasks.
