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.

EV suits have water tubes with either hot or cold water running througout that can control temperature of the person.

Infrared Waves: Invisible waves of heat energy radiated by any hot object.

∙ 13y agoYou need to wear a spacesuit because there is no oxygen in outer space, so they wear the suits to provide oxygen. there are also extreme temperatures in space from hundreds of degrees when the sun is out and hundreds of degrees below 0 during the night, so they wear the suits to provide a suitable temperature for their bodies. it protects them from other cautions in space such as space dust orbiting the earth at incredible speeds. Also on earth, believe it or not, one ton of air is smashing down on you right now. Your body pushes out with the same force to prevent this. without the pressurized spacesuit, you would explode from all the force being pushed out by your body.

When the heat of the sun hit there suits it would not make the astronauts hot

Why do sea divers and astronauts need to wear special suits?
Both astronauts and sea divers wear special sits because they travel into atmospheres that are strange to our bodies. Our bodies were not built to stand extremely deep waters and outer space. The suits protect them as they go about their business in those places.
Do astronauts keep their uniforms?
No the astronauts wear their space suits when they are launched, but they remove them later.
Name What is the name of the suit astronauts wear?
A space suit.
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.
Do they wear suits when they go to space because there is no air?
Space suits are worn to protect astronauts not only from the lack of air, but also from cold.
How are astronauts inside the spacecraft protected from the heat?
astronauts wear special suits which protect them from the heat

Do astronaut have special gear for outer space?
Yes astronauts will have to wear their pressurized suits , when they walk in space.

What are the conditins in space?
Well, there is no gravity so you float around and there is no oxygen, that is why astronauts wear special suits when they go up there.
