Thermos are double walled containers. Between each wall, the space is vaccuum sealed, so there are no air particles. This decreases the transfer of energy (by convection) from inside the warm drink to outside in the atmosphere. The second way your thermos keeps your drink warm is the shiny surface inside your thermos. Photons carrying energy bounce off the shiny surface inside the thermos, keeping high energy photons around the infrared wavelength inside the thermos. Next time you drink from your thermos, think science!

How is a thermos like a blanket?

Well, honey, a thermos keeps hot things hot and cold things cold, just like a blanket keeps you warm when it's chilly and cool when it's hot. So, in a way, they both help regulate temperature, but one you drink from and the other you snuggle up with. So, next time you're sipping on your coffee or cuddled up under a blanket, just remember they're both just trying to keep you feeling just right.
