Why do Astronauts wear Orange & White Spacesuits?
Simple! Because Orange & White looks good in space!
Oh AumSum!
The orange spacesuit is called the Advanced Crew Escape Suit.
This suit is worn during the launching or the landing of the space shuttle.
If there is any malfunction during this period and the astronaut decides to escape.
Then the orange color is the most visible against the blue sky and the sea.
The white spacesuit is called the Extravehicular Activities suit.
This suit is worn when astronauts are working outside the space shuttle.
Firstly, the white color reflects most of the Sun's extreme heat as compared to other colors.
Also, it is easy to spot this color against the vast black expanse of space.
