Because a space suit is used to provide the human body with earth-like conditions inside the suit. Earth already has earth-like conditions, therefore we do not need suits to be on the earth. On earth, we already have an atmosphere and the proper pressure and temperature to keep the atmospheric gasses dissolved in our blood and going to our tissues.

There are places on earth when we do need a 'suit' to stay alive. Places where the temperature, atmosphere and/or pressure are not adequate to keep us functioning properly require us to wear suits. Under water would be one place. There, we need a suit to keep us warm, and a mask to keep us breathing. Another place that I can think of is on top of a high mountain. Up there, the pressure is reduced enough that we have a difficult time getting enough oxygen to dissolve into our blood. So we increase our lungs' exposure to oxygen by wearing an oxygen mask.

Will astronaut feel hot in their spacesuits?

No the suits are regulated to protect them from the freezing cold of space.


Can you eat through a space suit?

No. In the past spacesuits have had food inside and all spacesuits have drinking water in them. But, neither food nor water can go through the suits when they are pressurized.


What kind of natural fiber was used in the fist spacesuits?

The first spacesuits were made using natural fibers like nylon and polyester. These fibers were chosen for their strength, durability, and flame resistance qualities. Over time, spacesuit materials have evolved to include more advanced synthetic materials for added protection and performance.


What adaptations or changes would people need to make to live on another planet?

People living on another planet would need to adapt to different gravity, atmosphere, and climate conditions. They would need specialized spacesuits or habitats to protect themselves from extreme temperature changes, radiation, and lack of suitable air for breathing. Additionally, they would likely need to grow their own food in controlled environments and rely on advanced technology for communication and transportation.


What are 20 things you need to live on mars?

To live on Mars, you would need a reliable habitat for protection against radiation and extreme temperatures, as well as a sustainable life support system that provides clean air, water, and food. Essential equipment includes advanced spacesuits for protection during exploration, energy sources like solar panels, and a means of transportation, such as rovers. Communication tools for contact with Earth and scientific instruments for research are also crucial. Lastly, psychological support systems and recreational activities would be important for mental well-being during long missions.

Why should the astronauts use a spacesuits and helmet while walking in the space?

Astronauts wear spacesuits due to the absence of pressure in space. They need to maintain the pressure level on Earth by isolating themselves from actual space. For the helmets: there is no oxygen in space. Humans require oxygen to live, inhaling it through their nose and mouth. Therefore if they do not wear helmets, they will die instantly from loss of oxygen.

Why do you need spacesuit and oxygen tank?

Spacesuits and oxygen tanks are needed in space because there is no atmosphere to provide oxygen for astronauts to breathe. Spacesuits also protect astronauts from extreme temperatures, radiation, and micrometeoroids. Without these, astronauts would not be able to survive in the harsh conditions of space.
