What a silly question, all I'm going to say is everything is possible. So possibly.

How much heat can aluminum withstand?
That depends on what you are trying to ask.First point is that heat is energy in transit - if it isn't moving from one place to another it's technically not heat. Thermal energy - the energy held by a mass due to temperature is a better term, but even that is a bit ambiguous.With that in mind...if you mean how much energy can be stored as thermal energy by aluminum, you would have to look up the heat capacity - which is approximately 0.91 kJ/kg K (the exact value depending on temperature and purity of the aluminum)If you mean how much resistance aluminum foil can provide to the transfer of heat, that would depend on the temperature gradient and how shiny the aluminum was - shiny aluminum will reflect more heat that dull/burnished aluminum surfaces.
What is a property of aluminum that makes aluminum foil useful in baking?
Heat conduction and heat tolerance.
Is aluminum foil a good conductor for electricity or heat?
ya
Does aluminum prevent heat transfer?
No. Aluminum is an excellent conductor.
What conducts heat best wood copper or aluminum?
either copper or aluminum, but definitely not wood. copper is the best conductor of heat, aluminum comes second. Wood is the worst conductor as it doesn't contain free electrons that move around and transfer heat energy. Hope it helps!
How does aluminum foil keep meat cold?
the aluminum insulates the heat and keeps it in there so no heat to get out if so only a little will
How Does aluminum foil prevent energy loss by radiation?
Aluminum foil is a conductor of heat energy. However, it does reflect radiation from heat sources, so it can reduce heat transfer through radiation. When aluminum foil is wrapped around something, pockets of air can be trapped. Trapped air is an excellent insulator against conduction and convection. However, if you want to prevent something like a can of soda from getting warm in your lunchbox, a wool sock will be a better insulator. Even paper toweling is better at insulating than aluminum foil when light is not shining.
Does tin foil attract heat?
Tin foil is generally made of aluminum and can attract/transfer heat. Aluminium is widely used as cooling in computer systems, which spreads the heat all over the heatsink so the air can cool the aluminum down.
Which material conserves heat the best paper or aluminum foil?
Aluminum foil.
Is tin foil a good insulator?
What we usually refer to as tin foil is almost always aluminum foil. Aluminum is a very good conductor of heat, and aluminum foil makes a very poor insulator. The exception might be in the case of radiant energy, which it reflects well, and even better when it is polished.
Is aluminum foil a better heat conductor than metal?
no because aluminum foil is a metal

Which material makes a better heat insulator newspaper or aluminum foil?
Aluminum foil is a better heat insulator than newspaper. Aluminum foil reflects thermal energy, while newspaper absorbs and conducts heat. Therefore, aluminum foil will help keep heat in or out more effectively.
Why does foil cool down faster then a piece of pizza?
Aluminum foil has a lower specific heat than a fatty food such as pizza. A lower specific heat means it takes less energy to heat it up, and it releases energy easier.
Why is fixing aluminum foil to the wall behind a radiator reduces energy transfer through the wall?
Some of the heat that would be absorbed by the wall and lost, is reflected back into the room, keeping the room warmer.
Does aluminum conduct cold faster than glass?
Aluminum is a conductor and glass is an insulator. Conductors allow the flow of energy transfer, but insulators block this transfer of energy. So by definition, Yes, aluminum conducts cold or heat(energy) transfer faster than glass.
Is aluminum foil a heat absorber?
No, it really reflects heat.
