Best Answer

The aluminum foil makes a good reflector for the infrared radiation. Although metals tend to be good conductors and aluminum is no exception, the fact that it is beaten extremely thin makes it difficult for to disperse throughout. As a result the aluminum stays relatively cool and the object in question continuously recycles the wasted heat energy that is emitted.

When you rotate a jar filled with water and a floating object on it object doesn't moves?
