because it the copper on the out side pulls in the heat and it lets it go slowly so it gets hot fast and stays hot for a long period of time.

compared to ruber, how about?

Does copper wire conduct sound?
Since sound is the effect of vibrations in a media, copper can definitely conduct sound. However, as a wire it would have a certain damping factor, much a like spring, that would absorb the energy of sound vibrations. So a sheet of copper would conduct sound, but a thin wire would not.
Can Iodine conduct heat?
Yes. Basically every metal conducts heat
Why are the cooling coils at the back of refrigerator made of copper?
Dude.. because copper is a insulators of heat so they prevent heat\warmth to reach through it thus letting the coils cool.
What is more conductive between zinc and copper?
copper because it has a free valence electron where as zinc has its shells completely full making it harder to delocalize the electron so it can conduct.
What happens when you heat anhydrous copper sulphate?
Copper sulfate is normally found in the form of blue crystals, copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate. When you heat copper sulfate pentahydrate it turns white as the water which is driven off by the heat. The white solid remaining is anhydrous copper sulfate. If you add water to the anhydrous copper sulfate an exothermic reaction occurs, you can feel the test-tube getting hot, as the blue copper sulfate pentahydrate is re-formed.
Why do feathers and fur conduct heat so easily?
steel copper aluminum
Does phosphorous conduct heat?
Everything conducts heat, but phosphorous is a non-metal, so as a guess I would say it doesn't conduct well
Why does copper conduct heat better than steel or brass?
Yes/ brass does conduct heat, but not as much as aluminum and copper.
Why are fireplace pokers made of iron and not copper?
There are several reasons: * Iron is less malleable than copper so the tools can be thinner and lighter and still have the durability and strength needed * Iron has a higher melting point than copper * Iron does not conduct heat as well as copper so the handles of iron tools stay cooler longer * Iron is about a tenth the price of copper
Why is a car radiator made of aluminum?
The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat from the engine to the atmosphere, so radiators need to be made of a material with a high heat transfer coefficient. Aluminum has a high heat transfer coefficient. In other words, aluminum conducts heat very well. There are other materials, such as copper, which conduct even better, but aluminum is more economical to use than copper.
Is lead conductor?
Lead has high resistivity of current. So , lead is not conduct current. But lead has low resistivity of heat and it conduct heat..
Why iron is not a good conductor of heat if it compair to copper?
Copper has relatively easily available electron as compare to the iron because copper has bigger atomic size than iron which means the shielding effect in copper is more than iron so the electron of copper can conduct heat more easily and efficiently as compare to the electron of the iron which make iron not a good conductor of heat if it is compair to copper.
Is cotton clothing a conductor?
Short answer: No Long answer: I assume you are wondering this on a heat basis, rather than an electrical one. Things can be either conductors or insulators. Conductors conduct heat well, like copper, and insulators don't conduct heat, like cotton. This is due to the moleules being closer together, as in metal solids, which means the heat waves travelling through them do not diminish so quickly.
Is fabric insulator or conductor?
it's an insulator. conductors are things like metals or salts.

What dosn't conduct heat?
So far, nothing has been discovered that can't conduct heat!
Does wood conduct heat?
All materials conduct heat so: Yes The real question is how quickly.
