Most times its because there is no air in between the outside layer of the thermos and the inside layer of the thermos.
I put hot water in the thermos and let sit for a few minutes until inside gets hot.
There is air between the inside and outside of the flask.
This is due to insulation. Inside of the Thermos the liquid remains its placed temperature longer due to the insulating either stopping heat from reaching the fluid, or by stopping heat from leaving the fluid.
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
inside a thermos is flask steel materials, it keeps the thermos for about 1 - 2 days.
The inside of a 1930 thermos was made primarily from iron with a thin coating of silver.
Thermos are double walled containers. Between each wall, the space is vaccuum sealed, so there are no air particles. This decreases the transfer of energy (by convection) from inside the warm drink to outside in the atmosphere. The second way your thermos keeps your drink warm is the shiny surface inside your thermos. Photons carrying energy bounce off the shiny surface inside the thermos, keeping high energy photons around the infrared wavelength inside the thermos. Next time you drink from your thermos, think science!

no idea :( i need to know too
To keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold by minimizing heat transfer between the inside of the thermos with the outside.
the thermal conductivity of certain materials (e.g air)is low. This makes exchange of heat between the inside and the surroundings difficult, thus allowing temperature to be mantained.
If you look inside of a thermos you will see metal. This absorbs the heat or the cold and keeps it that way for as long as the contents are in the thermos.
To reduce heat loss by thermal radiation.
It essentially a mirror on the early versions.
If anyone knows the value of this thermos I would also be interested to know as well.
