The outer surfaces do not need to be shiny. The interior ones do, to reflect heat back rather than let the heat pass out of the vacuum flask. The vacuum between the double walls of the flask also reduces heat loss.

Why does the hot tea in a Thermos flask remain hot for a long time?
The Thermos (vacuum) flask has a double skinned glass cylinder inside. Between the two walls of the glass cylinder is a vacuum. The glass cylinder is also silvered on all inner and outer surfaces. Both the vacuum and the silvering help to prevent the rapid cooling of a hot liquid, or the warming of a cold liquid. The vacuum inhibits heat transfer by conduction. The silvering reflects the heat and inhibits the heat escaping from the flask. Thermos (often used for a vacuum flask) is a trade-name.Eventually, as anyone who uses a vacuum flask, the once hot drink will have become cool by the end of the day.
How does hot water becomes cold in a vacuum flask?
Its because there are contact points between the inner part of the flask and the outer part, which allows some thermal conductivity to occur.
How does thermal pot keep the liquid inside it hot?
Most thermal pots use a vacuum flask inside. The inner and outer walls are separated by a vacuum. The only way heat is transferred from inner to outer walls is by radiation.
WHY inner bottle's outer body of a thermous flask is made up of silver in colour?
because sliver colour absorbs maximum heat radiation. that's why it is of sliver colour.
How many electron are needed to fill the outer energy level of sulfur?
6 electrons
Is vacuum flask an insulater?
It's the vacuum that is maintained between the inner and outer containers of the vacuum flask that is the insulator. Heat is unable to move from the inner container through the vacuum to the outer container which is in contact with the outer world.
What is the principle of a thermos flask?
If you call it by its correct name "vacuum flask" the principle becomes clear. The flask consists of an inner and outer chamber, the space between the chambers is a vacuum. A vacuum cannot conduct heat, hence no losses between the two chambers.

How does a vacuum flask prevent heat from flowing in or out of it?
Vacuum (absence of matter) is an excellent insulator because matter is the vehicle that carries heat from one place to another. A vacuum flask contains a vacuum-sealed space between the outer and inner walls of the vessel. Without a vehicle, the heat cannot easily be transferred across the gap between the two walls.
Where do you get vacuum in the vacuum flask?
The flask works because there is a gap between the inner and outer walls of the flask. During the manufacturing process the air in the gap is extracted and the opening is sealed - creating a vacuum between the walls. Heat transmits rapidly through air - but a lot less rapidly, in fact only very, very slowly, through a vacuum. A vacuum flask not only keeps heat in, it also keeps it out. If you put iced water into a vacuum flask it will stay cold for a very long time.
What is a vacuum in physics?
A system is said to be at a partial vacuum if it is at a negative pressure (pressure less than atmospheric pressure). When you use a straw, the partial vacuum created inside the straw is what causes your drink to travel up the straw and into your mouth.A perfect vacuum would be a space with nothing in it and a temperature of 0 degrees kelvin. Practically, however, we can only achieve and work with partial vacuums or pressure differentials. Even what we call outer space is only a partial vacuum. Rule of thumb: Nature hates a vacuum.
Why the inner side of the outer wall and outer side of the inner wall of thermos flask is silvered?
I Don't know :p
The four outer planets do not have solid?
surfaces
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
