What is emission?
Objects that are less dense than the fluid around them will float.
What is the principle of buoyancy?

What are the two light-responsive solutions on the market?
This occurs when an object does not produce light.

What are the life support functions of the spacesuit?
According to this organization, the risk of the situation rather than the end-user activity determines the use of different standards.
What is the EU?
These can be worn by the military and hunters to resemble heavy foliage and blend in to the environment.
