One of the best heat reflectors is the aluminum.
The surface of aluminum does not absorb heat, butto reclect95% of the infrared rays which strike it. Since aluminum foil has such a low mass to air ratio, very little conduction can take place, particularly when only 5% of the rays are absorbed.

∙ 10y agoNot surprisingly, surfaces that reflect other types of energy are usually pretty good at reflecting heat. Usually surfaces that look metallic and like a mirror are pretty good. This is one reason why they silver the surfaces of thermoses and other cryogenic storage vessels - to reflect the heat instead of absorbing or transmitting it.

Which color reflects heat the most - black or white?
White reflects heat the most because it absorbs very little. Black absorbs a lot of heat, so reflects very little.
Is aluminum foil a heat absorber?
No, it really reflects heat.
What reflects more heat aluminium foil or white cardboard?
Aluminium foil reflects more heat than white cardboard.
How does fleece reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection?
it reflects the heat back
Why do shiny surfaces reflect heat?
it reflects heat because it doesnt need it
What are the best heat insulators and how are they keep heat?
the best insulater would probably be aluminum foil. the reason for this is that it reflects heat and light. That's how solar ovens work.
Which color reflects heat the most - black or white?
White reflects heat the most because it absorbs very little. Black absorbs a lot of heat, so reflects very little.
Is aluminum foil a heat absorber?
No, it really reflects heat.
What reflects more heat aluminium foil or white cardboard?
Aluminium foil reflects more heat than white cardboard.
What is the best color to keep cool?
Wear white or a light colour. This is because white reflects the heat and light and black draws it in.
Why do shiny surfaces reflect heat?
it reflects heat because it doesnt need it
How does fleece reduce heat transfer by conduction and convection?
it reflects the heat back
What reflects heat back into space and traps heat near Earth?
Clouds and the atmosphere.
Can a mirror in water reflects heat?
No, but it can reflect light which can easily turn into heat when it hits something.
Why does darker clothing attract more heat?
It does not attract more heat is reflects less back.
Does the moon have heat?
no because it reflects light form the sun
What effect does sand have on a desert?
It reflects sun-light and heat.
