Yes, it is. It isn't easy for heat to travel through a gap where there's no air, which is why thermoses and coolers are built the way they are.

How thermos flask prevent loss or gain of heat by?
A vacuum makes a good heat insulator.
How does a flask reduce heat loss by conduction and radiation?
Using vacuum as an insulator avoids heat loss by conduction. Heat transfer is minimised by reflective silver surfaces that are applied to the flask. This prevents thermal radiation from entering and escaping the flask.

How does a vacuum flask prevent heat from flowing in or out of it?
Vacuum (absence of matter) is an excellent insulator because matter is the vehicle that carries heat from one place to another. A vacuum flask contains a vacuum-sealed space between the outer and inner walls of the vessel. Without a vehicle, the heat cannot easily be transferred across the gap between the two walls.
Is fibreglass a better insulator than vacuum?
No. If you can get it, vacuum is the best insulator.
Is vacuum flask an insulater?
It's the vacuum that is maintained between the inner and outer containers of the vacuum flask that is the insulator. Heat is unable to move from the inner container through the vacuum to the outer container which is in contact with the outer world.

What is the scientific principle of making thermos flask?
thermos flask actually works on the principle of insulator. air is trapped between 2 walls of the flask. air being a bad conductor of heat traps it between the walls. this keeps the material in the flask hot for a longer period.add. Actually, usually there is a vacuum between the two walls of the flask, for this is a better insulator than air. hence the name 'vacuum flask'.

Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
How the thermos flask prevents heat loss by conduction?
There is a dead air space between the liner of the thermos and the outside. This space acts as insulation preventing conduction. In a really good thermos, or Dewar flask, the space is actually a vacuum. Vacuum is an even better insulator than air is, since heat doesn't conduct across a vacuum at all.
What is vacuum cup?
it is the cup that comes on a vacuum flask
Substance that contains the vacuum in a vacuum flask?
Glass
What is silvering in a vacuum flask?
There is a silvering in the vacuum flask in order to reduce the loss of heat through the means of radiation.
