Why do astronauts have to wear shield protection?
Everyone needs to be protected against radiation, because radiation in strong doses can Kill or injure. A small amount that a person receives in an x-ray will do no harm; but, too strong a dose of radiation is very dangerous. Radiation is greater in outer space than it is on the earth, because, we are protected from radiation on earth by the atmosphere. Astronauts in outer space have no such protection.
What do distant supernova explosions release that is extremely dangerous to astronauts in outer space?
cosmic rays
Is radiation the only form of heat transfer that is unable to travel through the vacuum of space?
No. You got it exactly backwards.
Is it dangerous being a astronaut?
1: Radiation - Any planet/moon/or even space that is not protected by an atmosphere like Earth experiences radiation. That is a major reason why space travel is so dangerous. Radiation is everywhere in space. its like you can't escape it!2: they also have to worry about bone and muscle degeneration caused by spending all of that time in microgravity (exercise can also slow this problem but not prevent it)3: when the shuttle is fully loaded with the oxygen they need, it is extremely dangerous, so if one of the crews on the shuttle fart, they will interfere with the oxygen4: they suffer from boredom, cabin fever and muscle atrophy5: it is very difficult to digest food because there is no gravity acting on their body. Also, it is very bad for their bodies to be in an anti gravity for such a long period of time.6: Lack of food, lack of air and warmth. Anything that you need 2 survive.Hoped that helped answer your question! =)For more information click on this link/search up and learn more:http://spacefeelings.com/astronaut-outer-space-food.shtml
What is the definition of space weather?
Haha, you'd think "meteorology" (the study of weather) would apply to space. But no, there is no space weather in the traditional sense. There are solar winds, however, which are caused by the force of the sun's radiation pushing hydrogen gas and small particles around.
How does astronaut talks with NASA when in space?
They have extremely powerful radios.
How does the radiation takes place in space?
Radiation in space primarily comes from stars, including our Sun, which emit electromagnetic radiation across a range of wavelengths. Other sources of radiation in space include cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles originating from sources such as supernovae. Radiation in space can impact astronauts and spacecraft, which is why shielding and protective measures are important for space missions.
Electromagnetic radiation that comes from the outer space is?
Cosmic radiation consists of high-energy particles and electromagnetic radiation, including gamma rays, X-rays, and ultraviolet radiation, that originate from sources in outer space such as the Sun and other celestial bodies.
Where does background ultraviolet radiation come from?
it comes from space circle jerk
What is cosmetic microwave background radiation?
this is radiation in the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum which comes from all directions in outer space
Background radiation comes from all directions in space?
Truer words were never spoken.
Why do they where space suits in space?
in space. Nevermind, the astronauts wear space suits because otherwise they would die due to the Sun's radiation and the extremely low temperatures in space. And because there isn't air in space.
how does the energy from space the sun travel through space to the earth?
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.
How is the sun reflecting it radiation into space?
The sun does not reflect its radiation into space.
What is Radiation actually?
Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through some material or through space.Since there is Vacuum( empty space) between earth and the sun, Light travels using radiation....Hope it helped! :)
What is the need for a spacesuit?
There are 2 main reasons for a space suit. 1.For protection from radiation, small objects that are moving extremely fast, and the vacuum of space. 2. There is no oxygen in space, therefore oxygen tanks are vital for respiration in space. i hope this helps ;)
How is life on earth protected from the extreme conditions in space?
The earth is protected by the atmosphere which deflects some of the radiation that comes from the sun.
