Why does a piece of iron feel colder than a piece of wood even though they are both in the same temperature?
Wood is a porous material in which a lot of air is trapped, and as a result, it is a poor conductor of heat. Iron is a denser material which is a good conductor of heat. So when you touch iron, heat flows easily from your finger into the colder piece of iron. Heat flows much more slowly from your finger into a piece of wood, even if the wood is exactly the same temperature as the iron.
