Everyone needs to be protected against radiation, because radiation in strong doses can Kill or injure. A small amount that a person receives in an x-ray will do no harm; but, too strong a dose of radiation is very dangerous. Radiation is greater in outer space than it is on the earth, because, we are protected from radiation on earth by the atmosphere. Astronauts in outer space have no such protection.

On Earth the atmosphere blocks out a lot of the radiation that is whizzing about in space, radiation that would otherwise be able to hurt us.

Astronauts, being outside the atmosphere, can need something else to protect them from that radiation.
