Why does NASA use gold foil on equipment and gold-coated visors?
I've read several websites about equipment covered with gold foil and astronaut helmet visors are coated with gold. However, their explanations are devoid of almost all physics content. Can someone explain the basic concept of why gold foil is so popular with NASA as a coating on visors?
