Does the Solar Armor from the Solarian ability provide any protection from the Environments? I assume it does not but the base armor rules say all armor provides environmental protection unless stated otherwise.
I imagine being blown out of an airlock and activating my solar armor and being safe, that would be too cool!

A Solarian's Solar Armor isn't armor. (I know, that sounds confusing.)
It's a supernatural effect that compliments light armor. Sure, you could activate solar armor without actually wearing armor, but the intended use is for you to be wearing light armor underneath, and thus already having environmental protection and life support.
So, no, I don't believe that solar armor provides any environmental protection other than the stated AC bonus and energy resistance.

Thank you for the clarification. I figured as much as it is more like an additional layer of protection composed of light. Never hurts to bounce questions off of others! :)
