Why is the glass of a thermometer so thin?
Glass is a bad conductor of heat, it has to be thin. So that heat should eventually pass to the mercury. And for that purpose we have to keep thermometer for at least two minutes in position.
What does glass do with heat?
Glass does not "do" anything with heat. Glass is not a (thermal) insulator though.
Why does a flame go out when it touches glass?
Glass is an insulator of heat. So it can't pass by. It goes out because it doesn't get enough oxygen to keep on going.
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Does glass lead heat?
Yes, glass will conduct heat, only not as well as metals.
How do you keep heat in your house?
double glazing cuts down heat loss because there is a vacume between the two pieces of glass.

What container glass plastic or aluminum will keep drinks coldest the longest?
Glass I would think as most types conduct heat poorly i.e. they are insulators.
Will a glass window attract heat and trap it?
YUPPERS! and it will trap most of it but not all 2nd Answer: Ummm . . . a glass window does not attract heat. It does not 'trap' it, either. The glass may allow heat through, or glass can heat up, itself, but then it can radiate that heat away when the air around the glass is cooler than it is. That is certainly not, "Trapping" the heat.
What can cut glass?
heat willcut glass.
Do curtains screens or blinds keep the heat from the room from escaping?
To a certain extent, yes. Not as well as insulated glass, but they do help.
Why does heat break glass?
when one material is heated it expand:because the glass is not a conductor of heat

Why does a experienced housewife will always place a metal spoon in a glass tumbler before pouring hot tea in to it?
If we pour hot tea in glass tumbler the tumbler will expand and break off. So to prevent it we keep a metal spoon in it,as it is a conductor of heat it will absorb heat and prevents the glass from breaking.
