Does a thermal insulator keep heat in or out or both?
an ideal thermal insulator does not conduct heat at all,so it keeps heat out!
What can a thermal insulator not do?
A thermal insulator is totally incapable of answering this question
Can rubber keep heat out?
Rubber can not only keep heat OUT, it can also keep heat IN. It only depends on which side of it is initially at higher temperature. This property of rubber is the main reason that it is often used as a thermal insulator.
Why do people use newspaper to wrap cold food?
The newspaper is a thermal insulator - it will take heat longer to pass through the newspaper, than to pass through air. The newspaper - or any other thermal insulator - won't keep an object hot or cold indefinitely, however.The newspaper is a thermal insulator - it will take heat longer to pass through the newspaper, than to pass through air.

How does an insulator keep something warm?
Insulator help keep something warm by the thermal energy is transferred throught collisions between molecules,and air molecules are far apart.
What ia a material that does not transfer thermal energy easily?
There is no "material" that does not allow a powerful enough current to conduct through it. However, a vacuum (which contains absolutely nothing, and is not technically a material) will never conduct a current, no matter the power.
Is styrofoam a better insulator of heat than plastic?
Styrofoam is a better insulator of heat than plastic. The plastic allows the heat in and out and the cold in and out. The Styrofoam helps keep the heat in.
Is cotton wool a good heat insulator?
because it can keep heat in because it is thick and good for insulation
What is thermal warming?
It is a tautology - while a thermal blanket may keep you warm, it is not doing so by thermal warming it is doing so by thermal insulation. Thermal means "relating to heat". Warming means "increased heat"
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 is paper a insulator?
It creates a shield of air to keep the heat in and surrounding cool air out.
What is the basic principal involved in a woolen blanket?
A woolen blanket is a good thermal insulator. Actually, air is among the very best of thermal insulator, and the wool fibre /fibreglass fibres, macerated paper, porous foam) serves to keep the air from moving and thus losing heat. Heat could be lost by radiation, conduction, and convection (a special case of conduction and convection combined.). Not of great importance in a blanket, but of importance in clothing is the fact that wool does not absorb water easily.
