All six Apollo missions that landed on the moon landed on the 'sunny' side, and all twelve astronauts

who got out and walked on the moon walked in the sun. They would have been fried and irradiated

without protection, which is a big part of the reason why they wore space suits. Another reason for the

space suits was the fact that since their assigned tasks on the moon required so much physical effort,

they got together and decided that while they were walking and working on the moon, they wanted to

keep breathing. They needed a way to do that, since the moon has no air, and since they would be in

space suits anyway to avoid being fried and irradiated, it was a no-brainer to put the air in there too.

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


Hopw many magnetic fields does Mars have?

Mars does not have a global magnetic field like Earth does. It has remnants of and old global field that may have disappeared 500 million years ago. That would have been the end of protection against the solar wind. It would have stripped the atmosphere off and fried most land life.


Why is the milky way shape similar to a fried egg?

The Milky Way's shape resembles a fried egg due to its flattened disk structure with a central bulge, similar to the yolk of the egg. The disk contains stars, gas, and dust, while the bulge houses older stars concentrated at the center. Just like the egg white spreads out around the yolk, the galaxy's spiral arms extend outward from the central region, creating a visually similar appearance. This analogy highlights the galaxy's overall structure and distribution of materials.


What would have happened to the earth if the sun were significantly larger than it is?

If the sun were significantly larger than it is, the Earth would likely be too hot to support life as we know it. The increased size of the sun would result in higher temperatures on Earth, potentially leading to the evaporation of oceans and the destruction of the planet's atmosphere. This extreme heat would make it difficult for any form of life to survive.


Do black people come from another planet?

No, black people do not come from another planet. Like all human beings, individuals of African descent originated from the continent of Africa and have evolved and migrated around the world over time.

All of the Apollo astronauts who landed on the moon set down on the sunny side, i.e. a place on the moonthat the sun was shining on.Yes, the heat and radiation levels are intense on the moon, because there is no shielding due to atmosphere.Now you can begin to appreciate some of the other important functions of the space suit, besides holding air.

It would make it similar in terms of calorie content however there are still differences which would make skinless fried chicken less healthy. Skinless fried chicken would still contain more fat and a lot more sodium (salt).
