Why does surrounding air absorbs heat from body while it is insulator?

Air will only absorb heat from a body if it is at a lower temperature. Being an insulator does not mean that something will not absorb heat, it just means that heat moves through it slowly. Since air has such a low density, the molecules in it are widely spaced compared to a liquid or solid and conduction of heat through the air is very slow since the molecules do not collide nearly as frequently as they do in more dense materials.

How are conductor and insulator alike?
They are not alike at all. A conductor allows for the free passage of electrons throughout its body, while an insulator does not allow electrons to flow through its body.
How does your body get rid of liquids?
The body absorbs the liquid, while the rest, also refered to as "waste" would come out as pee.
How does a polar bear fur acts as an insulator?
It is not the fur that insulates the polar bear. The polar bear's skin is black, so it absorbs heat and keeps heat inside the body. The white fur is merely for camouflage.
What color effect body heat?
Black color absorbs more than it radiates. White color reflects back off most of the absorbed energy into the surrounding. Different colors have varying capacity to retain onto heat energy absorbed from the surrounding.
Is the human body a conductor?
Yes, because if it was an insulator.. then we wouldn't be able to be electrocuted.. why the human body is an insulator is because the human body contains a lot of water
What if your body feels warmer when it absorbs what kind of waves?

Is your body when your skin is wet a conductor or insulator?
a conductor
Is a sweater an insulator?
snow is a good insulator, especially when it remains in frozen state.
What is the characteristic feature of an endothermic reaction?
An exothermic organism is cold- blooded and it's body temperature shifts depending upon the temperature of it's surrounding environment, for example a fish. An endothermic organism is a warmblooded organism that maintains a certain temperature inside the body no madder what its surrounding environments temperature is, for example humans.
