Answer:

To cope with the extremes of temperature, most space suits are heavily insulated with layers of fabric (Neoprene, Gore-Tex, Dacron) and covered with reflective outer layers (Mylar or white fabric) to reflect sunlight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the fabric is to deflect the harmful electromagnetic radiation from the sun and other sources. Higher energy radiation such as gamma rays or UV rays can ionize the atoms in our skin and organs. Therefore, it would be beneficial to deflect that radiation
