the suit keep them cool in the sun and warm in the shade is their suits are specially build so that they have air conditioning and their suits are very thick to keep them warm.

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 do astronauts wear white space suit?
1. So that they can be seen easily/ they can be visible easily.2.To keep them cool.
How do astronauts control temperature while on a space mission?
Strangely, both heating and cooling are required in spacecraft: radiant heat is constantly being lost to the cold of space, while the radiation from the Sun will rapidly heat any object in orbit around the Earth or Sun. Spacecraft use both passive and active temperature controls. Reflective materials and coatings prevent the buildup of heat from the Sun. Active systems remove heat from the sunward side and use it to warm the interior. For astronauts outside a spacecraft, excess body heat has to be removed from their cramped spacesuits, while the suit exteriors insulate them from both the Sun's rays and the frigid cold of space.
Are cool suits used on earth?
yes they are but for people with skin disease. :)
Why would astronauts risk their lives to seek the unknown?
Most workers risks their lives for their job. Factory and refinery workers die at a much higher rate than astronauts. More astronauts have died in plane crashes and car accidents than have died in space. While being an astronaut seems more dangerous than most jobs, there are countless safety factors built into the spacecraft and the flight plan that don't exist in most other earthly workplaces. There's obviously a risk to space travel, but NASA and the astronauts make sure their vehicle is as safe as possible to minimize those risks as much as is humanly possible.

Why were cool suits used just for astronauts up until now?
Allthough the old ones look cool the new ones are way more upgraded
Why do we fly in space?
Well kinda. We really float is space becuse thare is no gravity. Astronauts do cool tricks without gravity. It's really cool.
How do trees shade and cool?
They shade and cool by blocking the sun which creates a shadow and makes it shade and cool
Is black a cool shade?
yes black is definetly a cool shade color
What would happen to an orange in space?
it would just float away that's why astronauts have to hold on to there food in space but it would be cool to just see your food float away

How has the space suit changed over the years?
The space suits used by the Mercury astronauts were simple pressure suits used to keep the astronaut alive in case of cabin depressurization. After 6 Mercury flights came the Gemini flights. NASA needed suits with extra layers to protect astronauts against extreme thermal changes and the harsh solar radiation. For Apollo, the suits were designed to withstand not only temperature extremes and radiation, but also the rigors of the moon itself. They were also designed to be fire proof after 3 astronauts died in the Apollo 1 fire. The first 6 men to land on the moon (Apollo 11, 12 & 14) all used the same basic suit. It took a lot of effort for those men to bend at the waist. For the last 3 Apollo flights, the suit had to be more flexible than previous lunar space suits in order for the astronauts to sit on a Lunar Rover and drive around on the moon. They also added cables in the arms to help with flexibility in the elbows. Without those cables, the suit made the arms stick almost straight out in front of the astronaut. That wasn't a problem on short moonwalks, but it could have been a huge problem during the longer missions. The last 3 Apollo moon landing crews also had to have bigger backpacks to hold all the extra water needed to cool their spacesuits. The Shuttle astronauts take off and land in basically the same suit that the Mercury astronauts used, only made with newer and lighter materials. When they go out on EVA, they use a special suit to protect the astronaut against the harsh outer space environment. The suits don't look anything like the suits used on the moon but the Apollo astronauts, but they're based on that technology, with improvements in flexibility, especially in the hands and fingers for the delicate work required to put the International Space Station together.
