Why do astronauts need rigorous exercise in space?
their suits are very heavy.
When astronauts travel in space they must wear special helmets. Why?
The helmets are part of their space suits. They do not normally wear space suits unless they are going outside the spacecraft. Since there is no air outside and it can be very cold or hot. They need the suits to breathe and to protect them from the heat or cold and the vacuum of space which would kill them.
Why do astronauts need white space suits?
White reflects more light. Less coolant is needed in the suit.
What do astronauts need in space?
Astronauts wear special costumes, commonly referred to as "space suits" that protect them from the rays of the sun and gasses depending on which planet they are on. Space suits are airtight and also keep them warm while in the freezing vacuums of space, and cool inthe scorching sun. They wear a tinted glass for their face, not to be blinded by the glare.
Why did astronauts have wear special suits?
The suits that the Apollo astronauts wore were not particularly shiny. They were white and reflected the sun's light and heat. The Mercury program astronauts did wear shiny pressure suits made of aluminium-coated nylon, to provide thermal and pressurization protection. They did not, however, go to the moon as their flights were sub-orbital and low-earth orbital.
Why do deep sea divers need to wear special suits?
Thermal protection - water at depth can be very cold.
Do the astronauts need special clothes while living and working inside the space station?
Yes, astronauts wear specialized clothing while living and working inside the space station. They wear comfortable clothes for daily activities and special space suits for spacewalks or emergencies. These suits provide protection from extreme temperatures, radiation, and microgravity conditions.
Name three types of special equipment astronauts need to work in space?
Space suits: to protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and provide oxygen. Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs): for spacewalks to enable astronauts to move and work outside the spacecraft. Tether systems: to keep astronauts connected to the spacecraft while working in space.

Why did astronauts need to wear space suits when they visited the moon?
There is no atomosphere or atmospheric pressure. Without atomspheric pressure the astronauts blood would boil.

Why do astronauts have to wear bunny suits when working on instruments in space?
They need air and an atmospheric pressurized environment.
Why must test pilots and astronauts wear special suits?
Astronauts wear this space suits as the body can not face the atmosphere when they walk outside the craft it could be to hot or to cold or the preasure is far to much for the body. _____________________ They don't; you can fly in a spacecraft in your shirtsleeves - as long as you don't lose cabin pressure! Of course, if you lose cabin pressure, you need a way to keep oxygen and warmth around you.
Why do astronauts need white space suits?
White reflects more light. Less coolant is needed in the suit.
Why do astronauts wear a special kind of clothing?
The astronauts spacesuits are a type of life support system to keep them alive when outside of the spacecraft. Then it supplies them with air, water, communications, cooling, waste disposal and anything else they need for survival in an environment in which it is impossible to live without it. The orange spacesuits worn by space shuttle astronauts during launch and re-entry provide air,communications and also prevents their blood from pooling in one part of the body causing faintness. Most of the time on the shuttle and the International Space Station, astronauts wear regular clothing and only need to use special suits for EVA and launch and re-entry procedures.
Why do astronauts have to wear space suits while on the moon?
On the Moon there is no atmosphere, so there is nothing to breathe. In addition we need the pressure of the air on our bodies. We also need protection from the extremes of temperature found there.
