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.

What did the astronauts wear on the moon?

Astronauts wore specially designed space suits called Extravehicular Mobility Units (EMUs) when walking on the moon. These suits protected astronauts from the harsh conditions of space, including extreme temperatures, micrometeoroids, and the lack of atmosphere. The suits were custom-made for each astronaut to ensure a proper fit and functionality during their missions.


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.


How did astronauts speak on the moon?

Astronauts communicated on the moon using radio transmissions through their space suits. They spoke into a microphone inside their helmets, which transmitted their voices to their fellow astronauts and mission control on Earth. The radio transmissions allowed for clear communication despite the challenges of being in space suits and helmets.


Did astronauts wear g-suits when they landed on the moon?

No they wore space suits. G-suits are used to counteract the forces of gravity endured by, for example, fighter pilots during high delta-v maneuvers. The Apollo astronauts did not experience high g-forces during landing.


Do astronauts use athletic shoes for moon boots?

No, astronauts wear specialized lunar overshoes called "moon boots" over their space suits when walking on the Moon. These moon boots are designed to protect the astronauts from the harsh lunar environment and provide stability on the uneven surface. They are not the same as athletic shoes used for sports on Earth.

What is the name of the U.S. space station that put astronauts on the moon?

The program that took astronauts to the moon was Apollo. It was not a space station.


Is there little air to breath on the moon at all?

There is not even a little air to breathe on the moon. There is no oxygen at all. This is why astronauts must wear space suits with self contained breathing equipment.


What was US space program that put astronauts on the moon?

The US space program that put astronauts on the moon was called the Apollo program.


Can the astronauts talk on the surface of moon as on the earth?

Yes, astronauts can communicate with each other on the surface of the moon using radio communication devices in their space suits or spacecraft. The lack of atmosphere on the moon means that sound waves cannot travel, so they rely on technology for communication.


What did astronauts live on the moon?

While on the moon the astronauts lived in their lunar module.


Why do astronauts have to wear protective suits when they are on the surface of the moon?

there is not enough oxygen on the moon for us to breath. There is no atmosphrere on the moon so they would be depressurised and suffocate. They would also be fried from the suns radiation because there is no atmosphere to deflect it away like on earth
