If the aluminum and wooden window frame are at the same location they must be the same temperature. Since aluminum conducts heat more readily than wood it will conduct body heat away from your hand more readily and feel colder.

Why a brass tumbler feels much cooler than a wooden tray on a chilly day?
Brass is a good conductor of heat. When one touches a brass tumbler, heat is conducted from the body to the brass tumbler easily. Hence, the temperature of the body reduces to a lower value and one feels cooler.Wood is a poor conductor of heat. When one touches a wooden tray, very little heat is conducted from the body to the wooden tray. Hence, there is only a negligible drop in the temperature of the body and one does not feel cold. Thus, a brass tumbler feels colder than a wooden tray on a chilly day.
Why chloroform feels more colder than water?
because there is an alcohol inside it
How do copper cups keep drinks cold?
They don't. It feels colder in your hand and on your tongue because it is the cold escaping the vessel at a faster rate than if it were a more insular vessel. The drink itself feels colder because the mixture is hydrophillic (wants to dissolve in water) and creates an endothermic reaction (absorbs the heat from around it).
Are liquids colder in glass or alumminum?
The liquid itself is not colder, but the rate at which it heats up is faster in aluminum. Metal transfers heat a little better, and therefore the heat/ or cold from the liquid will transfer through it a little faster, to equalize with the surrounding atmosphere (outside, room temp. etc...). This is why it feels colder when held.
How does gravel feel?
gravel it feels hard wet griity and smmooth
An aluminium window frame feels colder than a wooden window frame when you touch it explain?
metal assorbs heat works same same with the cold
If you touch a wooden window then the wooden frame feels warmer than the glass they are actually the same temperature why does the glass feel colder?
Glass conducts heat away from your finger more effeciently than wood making it "feel" colder. The wood can only draw a certain amount of heat out of your finger before its limit is met, while the glass' chrystaline structure allows it to act as a heat sink much better than the frame.
Why does a metal spoon feel colder than a wooden spoon when its taken out of the refrigerator?
Metal conducts heat better than wood. When you touch the cold spoons, the heat of your hand travels away more quickly through the metal, so it feels colder.
Why does a metal rod feels colder to touch than a wooden rod at the surrounding temperature?
Metal is an excellent conductor of heat. The moment you grasp the metal rod, the heat of your hand is conducted away rapidly by the dense metal. If feels "chilly". Wood is a poor conductor of heat. It does not conduct away the heat of your hand,and the wooden rod stays comfortably warm in your hand.

Explain why the blade of a knife feels cold to the touch but a wooden handle does not?
While both may be at the ambient temperature metal conducts heat more efficiently than wood. Consequently heat from the body will flow more quickly and efficiently to the metal than it does to the wood. Hence it feels colder.
Why is windchill information important?
The windchill is how cold it feels as opposed to the actual temperature. In general the windier it is the colder that it feels.
How do you know an object is a metal?
it usuly feels colder than plastic
Why does marble flooring feel cool to touch?
It feels cold because it is colder than your skin . Marble feels colder than say wood because the marble conducts heat more readily.
Why a metal handrail feels colder than a wooden handrail even though they are at the same temperature?
The metal has higher thermal conductivity than wood so it takes heat away faster from your warm hand, causing it to feel cold
