It depends what you are comparing it to, if for instance you compare it to a vaccuum then it is an infinitely better conductor. Compared to copper however it is very poor, because obviously air is a mixture of various gasses and gasses are mostly empty space; because transferal of heat is through one particle passing on energy to another through vibrations it stands to reason that the less particles you have in a set volume the less efficiently it will transfer heat.
air is poor conductor of heat because we can,t feel
No. Air is a bad conductor of heat (thermal energy). Its not that it cannot transfer heat, it's just that it cannot hold that heat for a long time.
Air is not a poor conductor of thermal energy.
Only when it is completely still. Otherwise it is a thermal insulator.
No, a good thermal conductor is metal. metal is the best thermal conductor. air would be an insulator.
No, it is not.
Yes. Air is a poor conductor of heat.
no
no
Cork is made from the bark of a tree. Bark is not a good conductor. Cork also has countless pockets of dead air. Dead air space is also a poor conductor.
Because they trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat. They hold surfaces away from each other, to stop direct conduction.
IT is because warm air does out side and cooled air com inside
Air is a relatively-very-poor electrical conductor. If it were any good as a conductor,then you would need to keep your spare batteries in vacuum containers, to preventtheir becoming discharged through the air between their terminals.
Because metal has better thermal conductivity than wood. Thermal conductivity depends of the atomic and molecular structure of the stuff. The air is a poor thermal conductor, but water is better.
they have a very large amount of air present in them, plastic is a bad conductor

Most metals are good conductors of heat, but lead and stainless steel are exceptions. Air is a poor conductor of heat as are fibrous or layered materials. Cloth made from cotton or asbestos or sisal would be poor conductors. Mica would be an example of a layered material that is poor. In most thermal insulators, all you are buying is still air, because still air is (almost) the poorest conductor of heat among the simple materials. Hence the construction of most thermal insulators.

Generally, air is a poor conductor of electricity. It is actually pretty insulative, particularly when it is dry. It takes thousands of volts to break air down and make it conduct. Even the little shock you get reaching for a doorknob is actually "high voltage" as we know it (just low current). As regards conducting heat, it will, but not that well. It has a low heat capacity and it takes a lot of circulation to get air to move thermal energy (heat) from point A to point B. It can generally be said that air is a pretty poor conductor of heat, and a worse conductor of electricity.

Air is a good conductor of sound, and a poor conductor of heat and electric current.
