Silver is about the best for conduction, with copper not far behind. For radiation, a black body is best, and will radiate more heat the hotter it is. The sun for instance acts as a black body with temperature about 6000 deg C.

Best heat conducting metals?

Which state of matter-solid Liquid or gas-is the best at conducting heat?
hi
What is the best material to absorb heat from air?
The best material is copper of alumninium.
What causes a substance to cool down?
A substance becomes cold by radiating its heat out to its surrounding.
What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
Where does heat go when you keep the temp the same?
Depends on how you read the question. If the heat is "going away" somewhere, then the heat must be conducting, convecting or radiating away. Or if you are supplying heat to something that would otherwise be cooling down, it goes into maintaining the molecular/atomic vibrations of the material.
Is silver good at radiating heat?
NO! Ideal materials for radiating heat are black. If a body is radiating lots of heat then its electromagnetic(EM) spectrum should peak below the visible range(Infrared region),making the material look dark.
What are the best surfaces for radiating heat?
Dark surfaces are the best.
Heat promoting mechanisms include?
Heat promoting mechanism include exothermic reactions and the radiating of heat through conductance. Exothermic reactions include the combustion of carbon based fuels which release heat. The radiating of heat can come from electronic space heater that release warmth through their conducting metal filaments.
Which is the best conductor for heat?
The best metal for conducting heat is silver.
What is best heat conducting metal?
Gold is the best heat conductor in the world.

What is the 2nd best heat conducting metal?
copper
What are the 3 main types of heat transfer and how are each of the different?
Radiation - electromagnetic, thus no material need be in contact with the radiating object. Conduction : heat conducted by direct contact. Convection : heat is 'conducted' to a transfer material (fluid) which then caries it away by gravity (changes in density).
Can you list the 10 best metals at conducting electricity and heat?
Silver or Argentum (Ag)The best conductor of heat and electricity is silver.
What does An insulator?
an insulator- to prevent or reduce the transfer of electricity,heat,or sound by surrounding or lining with a non-conducting material.
Which state of matter-solid Liquid or gas-is the best at conducting heat?
