If you are really planning a trip to the moon, you’d better pack something to keep you warm, and also something to keep you cool. Because the moon has no atmosphere to block some of the sun’s rays or to help trap heat at night, its temperature varies greatly between day and night. That will be a great challenge to the human system. To deal with this problem, scientists have invented spacesuits with internal heaters and cooling systems. With this technology, scientists can create a surface zone with the relatively constant temperature. You will find that very helpful on your trip to the moon. 【写作任务】
