There are three different ways of transferring heat. These are by radiation, conduction and convection. The sun's rays heat the surface of the earth by radiation. If you were to wrap a ice cube in Aluminium foil and place it in hot sunlight it would take longer to melt because the sun's radiation would be reflected. However if placed an ice cube wrapped in foil on a hot plate, it would melt just as quickly as if there was no foil. This is because in this case Conduction is the main way heat is passed to the cube and aluminum is a good conductor.
tin foil contains heat by its reflection and its dark color i think Google it to be safe
Because the foil is shiny, and this makes it reflect the heat emitted from the source back into the centre, thus insulating it, and keeping your lovely sausages warm.
Aluminium foil is in fact extremely good at conducting heat.
because if theres food if something that needs to be kept warm tin foil keeps it warm that's why takaway foods are delivered in tin foil so that its kept warm .
Tin foil is a metal and metals are generally good conductors of heat, so i would have to say yes. Hope this helps T.M.M :-)
Obviously or else it wouldn't be called tin foil
To complete circuit in an emergency if fuse is blown-but not safe to do
Tin foil (aluminium foil) is a an very good conductor of heat. This make aluminium foil a very poor heat resistant material.
The thermal conductivity of aluminium is 237 W/m.K.
What we usually refer to as tin foil is almost always aluminum foil. Aluminum is a very good conductor of heat, and aluminum foil makes a very poor insulator. The exception might be in the case of radiant energy, which it reflects well, and even better when it is polished.
Copper, aluminum, gold, iron, silver, lead, tin, platinum, nickel, tungsten A and example of a good conductor of heat is a metal.
aluminium foil because it has the qualities of metal and tin which are good heat conservers.
This is because tin is an excellent conductor of heat, meaning, heat passes right through it. So if you are trying to keep something hot from getting cold, the heat will escape and if you are trying to keep something cold from melting then heat will get in and melt it.
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.

tin foil is bolth, because it is a metal so electricity goes through it and it holds heat well

Yes tin is a good conductor of both heat and electricity
Cooking foil is like regular aluminum foil. In summary, cooking foil and tin foil alike are good conductors of heat AND electricity.
No. Tin is a conductor of both heat and electricity.

I think it depends on the type of metal. Tin is extremely good conductor of heat. [ever slid down a tin slide on a hot summer day? burns like...]However Lead is not very good conductor of heat.No. Most metals are good conductors of heat.
Copper, aluminum, gold, iron, silver, lead, tin, platinum, nickel, tungsten A and example of a good conductor of heat is a metal.
because it conducts heat very well.
Well, since tin is a metal on the periodic table of elements it would have to be: Shiny malleable ductile a good heat conductor a good electrical conductor
That's what they say so it is!
