Why does a piece of iron feel colder than a piece of wood even though they are both in the same temperature?

Wood is a porous material in which a lot of air is trapped, and as a result, it is a poor conductor of heat. Iron is a denser material which is a good conductor of heat. So when you touch iron, heat flows easily from your finger into the colder piece of iron. Heat flows much more slowly from your finger into a piece of wood, even if the wood is exactly the same temperature as the iron.

What occurs when heat flows from a hotter object to a colder object?
The hotter object will get colder than it was, the colder object will get hotter than it was. Heat flow will continue until both objects are at the same temperature.
Why heat gained and heat loss?
Since heat flows from high temperature region to low temperature region so when a hotter body comes in contect with colder body then hotter body loses heat to colder body until both have same temperature.
Why is it possible to have negative values on the F and C temperature scales?
Temperatures can be MUCH colder than the Zero point on both.
When objects of two different are in contact what happens?
In that case, heat will flow from the hotter to the colder object. This will continue until both are at the same temperature.
A calorimeter uses the principle that thermal energy flows from hotter material to colder material until both reach the same .?
Many principles are used. Expansion of liquids. Production of thermo emf. Variation of resistance of conductors. As temperature changes certain physical properties change as mentioned above. Such changes are used to know about the temperature.
What affects density more temperature or salinity?
Density is affected by both temperature and salinity. The colder the temperature and the saltier the substance, the greater the density.
Which city of Pakistan is the coldest?
Skardu and Gilgit both are coldest place in winter the temperature goes to -10,-11 colder than murree.
What occurs when heat flows from a hotter object to a colder object?
The hotter object will get colder than it was, the colder object will get hotter than it was. Heat flow will continue until both objects are at the same temperature.
When objects of two different temperature are in what happens?
In that case, heat will flow from the hotter to the colder object. This will continue until both are at the same temperature.
Is snow colder than hail?

Does temperature change due to humidity change?
No, but they are both determined by the same factor: geography. It may make it feel a little warmer or colder though, just like wind chill, but it doesn't actually change it.
Why heat gained and heat loss?
Since heat flows from high temperature region to low temperature region so when a hotter body comes in contect with colder body then hotter body loses heat to colder body until both have same temperature.
What objects of two different temperature are in contact what happens?
In that case, heat will flow from the hotter to the colder object. This will continue until both are at the same temperature.
Which planet's temperature ranges from 13c to 37c?
No planet in our solar system has that as its full temperature range. Earth certainly has that temperature range, but it can get both hotter and colder than that.
Does ice make water colder or does water make ice warmer?
Both do their own job mutually till both reach a common temperature.
Why is it possible to have negative values on the F and C temperature scales?
Temperatures can be MUCH colder than the Zero point on both.
