Why does your neck of your body get hot?

Get hot, as in temperature OR feel hot? It may feel hot because it isn't well ventilated. Get hot -- it's as hot as the rest of your core.


Why isn't an astronaut in our solar system in zero gravity?

An astronaut can never be in zero gravity in our solar system, because there is gravity (usually) from the Earth, and always from the Sun. It is important to distinguish weightlessness from zero gravity. Weightlessness occurs in a gravity environment in which the person is freefalling, hopefully in orbit. In a freefall condition, there is no friction to retard your fall, so you feel nothing pressing against you, and thus you feel weightless..When in orbit around the Earth, an astronaut is in freefall, and is therefore weightless, but there is still gravity. When travelling between the Earth to the Moon, the astronaut is still in orbit around the Sun, and is therefore freefalling weightlessly.


What makes silver paper hot when you hold it?

Silver paper, or aluminum foil, can feel hot when you hold it because it is a good conductor of heat. When you touch a hot object wrapped in aluminum foil, the foil quickly transfers the heat to your hand, making it feel hot.


Who was the first astronaut to visit Venus?

No astronaut has visited Venus yet.


What telescope was named after an American astronaut?

The Hubble Space Telescope was named after Edwin Hubble. He was not an astronaut. Edwin Hubble was an astronomer, not an astronaut, who discovered the expansion of the universe.

How is an astronaut supported and protected in space?

The spacesuits protect them, also they use oxygen cylinders.


Why an astronaut needs a pressurized space-suit all round his body?

The spacesuits are worn to mentain the pressure.


How can spacesuit protect a Astronaut?

Spacesuits can protect astronauts from the cold, give them air and sometimes reduce radiation levels.


How do you go to the tolite in a space suit?

Spacesuits have a urine collection bag that is attached via rubber tubing to astronaut genitalia.


Is there a certain color for spacesuits?

White, because it is easier to spot in the black background of space, and it reflects light in order to prevent the astronaut from over heating.


What effect does pressure have on the astronaut in spacesuits?

In space, where there is a vacuum, pressure is significantly lower than on Earth. Spacesuits are designed to maintain internal pressure, protecting astronauts from the harmful effects of this vacuum, such as ebullism, where bodily fluids can boil at low pressure. Without proper pressure, an astronaut would experience swelling, loss of consciousness, and severe bodily harm. Thus, the suit's pressure regulation is crucial for astronaut safety and survival in the harsh environment of space.


What anastronaut working in Space near the International space station says she feel weightless. What does she mean Does the astronaut no have weight?

It actually means that the astronaut is in free fall, and doesn't FEEL gravity. Gravity does affect the astronaut, so the astronaut will still be accelerated towards Earth. However, the astronaut won't feel the gravity.


Where does the astronauts get there spacesuits from?

The spacesuits of the astronauts are given by N.A.S.A.


Why are the astronaut suits insulated?

Space is cold!Sunlight is very intense in space, causing rapid heating of exposed surfaces. Spacesuits are white to reduce this solar heating effect, but it doesn't eliminate it.


How do spacesuits protect from radiation?

Spacesuits protect astronauts from radiation by incorporating radiation-shielding materials, such as layers of specialized fabric and metallic elements like aluminum. These materials help to block and deflect harmful radiation particles from reaching the astronaut's body while in space. Additionally, the design of the spacesuit itself provides a physical barrier that minimizes exposure to radiation.


To any astronaut what is an Eva?

EVA stands for Extravehicular Activity, which is when an astronaut goes outside the spacecraft to perform tasks in space. During an EVA, astronauts wear specialized spacesuits to protect them from the harsh environment of space. EVAs are critical for activities such as repairing spacecraft, conducting experiments, and maintaining equipment outside the spacecraft.


What would happen if an astronaut's suit were black?

If an astronaut's suit were black, it could absorb more heat from the Sun, potentially making the astronaut inside the suit feel very hot. This could lead to overheating and discomfort, especially during spacewalks or in direct sunlight. Astronaut suits are typically designed with reflective materials to help regulate temperature and protect the wearer.
