If something is conductor of heat does it lose heat fast or slow-?
If something is a good conductor of heat then it will lose heat slowly. If something is a poor conductor of heat it will lose heat quickly.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Is metal a heat conductor or insulator?
it is a heat conductor
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Is iron nail a thermal insulator?
No, it is a conductor. Get one end hot, the heat is conducted to the other end pretty quickly.

Why would water in a metal mug cool down so quickly?
Because metal is a good conductor of heat it absorbs heat from material touching its surfaces, and transfer to air.
Does the atmosphere allow heat to escape quickly in order to cool the planet?
No the atmosphere does not allow heat to escape quickly to cool the planet
What property of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool?
The thermal conductivity and color of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool
What is a good heat conductor and why?
Metal is a perfect conductor of heat because the molecules are densely packed together so they can pass the heat quickly from one molecule to the other.

Why water is poor conductor of heat?
it is because the water gets quickly evaporate
Why do you use aluminium to cool transistors and such?
It is a good conductor of heat, it is cheap and light
Why do the mud houses with thatched roofs keep cool in summer and warm in winter?
The insulating effect of the thatch prevents heat getting in very quickly (cool in summer) and heat getting out very quickly (warm in winter)
Gold is an excellent conductor of heat What does this mean?
The fact that gold is an excellent conductor of heat means that it can have heat travel from an area of high temperature to one of low temperature quickly. Gold is excellent for this because it is a metal.
Why do you pour water on yourself to cool off?
Water acts as a conductor of heat, therefore when water, or most any liquid is in contact with your skin, its accelerates the conduction process, that is, it allows the heat to be transferred from your skin to the surrounding air more quickly. This is also the reason that we sweat.
Why is steel a bad conductor of heat?
Steel is a good conductor of heat. Try opening a paper clip and holding one end over a candle flame. You'll feel the opposite end get hot pretty quickly.
