Liquids do conduct heat. They do so through convection, convection is a process of heat transfer which occurs due to the movement of the atoms. Land Breezes and Sea Breezes occur due to convection

Yes water conducts heat and that is why it is used as the heating agent inCentral Heating systems in large parts of Europe.

Yes, liquids will conduct heat. It is the primary reason that hot water heating systems work, the water conducts the heat.

"Yes, water is a great one." -- water does not conduct electricity... liquids are, in general, pretty good though.but when t is mixed with salt it is great

Compared to gasses yes.

Compared to solids no.

Some liquids however are very good. Many computer cooling systems have a special liquid in them to keep the parts cool.

How liquids conduct heat?

by convection


Do liquids conduct heat well?

no, metal is the best heat && energy conductor.


Why do liquids conduct heat better than gases?

Liquids conduct heat better than gases because they are more dense; heat is conducted on a molecular level, so if you have more molecules per cubic centimeter, you will have more heat conduction.


Why do liquids conduct heat better then gases?

In liquids particles are more loosely packed so heat can flow through more ease.


Why are gases heat insulator?

Because they conduct heat less efficiently than do liquids or solids.


What do you call the liquids that cannot conduct electricity?

While there are many liquids that are known to conduct electricity, there are several that do not. These liquids that don't conduct electricity include milk, lava in its molten state, melting wax, and soda pop.


Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?

Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.

In order for heat to be conducted from one object to another what does the object need to made out of?

All objects conduct heat to some degree, even though some conduct it better than others. Objects are made out of matter, and that is the only requirement. If you want to know what an object would need to be made out of in order to conduct heat efficiently, that would be another question. Generally speaking, solids and liquids conduct heat better than gases so. Solids that contain trapped gas within them do not conduct heat as well as solids that don't.
