What else can I help you with?
Where does the earth get heat and light?
Earth gets heat and light from the Sun. It's heat also comes from the Earth's core.
Do curtains effectively keep heat out of a room?
Yes, curtains can effectively keep heat out of a room by blocking sunlight and insulating against heat transfer through windows.
What materials are known to be good heat reflectors or insulators?
Materials such as aluminum foil, silver, and reflective paint are good heat reflectors. Insulating materials like fiberglass, foam board, and cellulose are effective at reducing heat transfer and insulating against temperature changes.
Do the earth and moon make their own light and heat?
No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.
Can heat be trapped?
no, heat is not a substance, it is a form of energy.
Why does the earth need the light and heat of the sun?
Without light and heat Earth would be a dead and frozen planet
Why is aluminum not a good insulator?
Aluminum is not a good insulator because it is a metal with high thermal and electrical conductivity. This means it allows heat and electricity to flow through it easily, rather than resisting or insulating against it. As a result, aluminum is often used for conducting heat or electricity, rather than insulating against them.
Why is there no light in space?
Its because there is NOTHING between each star, that light can react against, it's something to do with air, or the atmosphere, because there is no light on the moon, (like there is on earth) since it has no atmosphere. or any sort of gas. The atmosphere scatters the light, no atmosphere, no visible light, (like the light on earth).
What is the best heat insulator against conduction?
Materials with low thermal conductivity such as aerogel, fiberglass, and foam are considered effective as heat insulators against conduction. These materials contain air pockets that hinder the transfer of heat through them, making them ideal for insulating against conduction.
Which type of substance would you use as a insulating material for a hot mitt?
A heat-resistant material such as silicone or a blend of cotton and polyester would be suitable for an insulating material in a hot mitt. These materials can withstand high temperatures and provide protection against heat.
Which is better heat insulating material PVC sheet or glass wool?
Glass wool is generally considered a better heat insulating material compared to PVC sheet. Glass wool has higher thermal resistance and is more effective in retaining heat due to its fibrous structure that traps air pockets. PVC sheet, on the other hand, is not as effective in insulating against heat due to its lower thermal resistance and poor heat retention properties.
Why apply insulation foam?
To improve insulation against heat or cold. Insulating foam is more efficient than fibreglass batts.
