Ceramic is an excellent insulator. This is why coffee cups are made of ceramic. They keep your coffee hot for a long time.

Metal cups, in contrast, conduct heat quite rapidly.

Does things made of ceramic float or sink in water?

depends on what it is...and how much water...but ceramic is pretty much like the equivalent of glass when it comes to floating in water...probably more heavier though Yes and no. If you set a solid ball of ceramic in water, it will sink. If you take the same amount of ceramic and make as large a hollow ball with it as you can, and THEN set it in water, it will float. Anything floats if its weight is less than the weight of the amount of water it displaces. That's why very large ships can be made of steel.

Do ceramic float or sink?

a solid ceramic object would sink. however, if the object is displacing enough water proportional to it's weight, then it will float. If you put an empty glass bowl in the water, it will float; but if you allow water in, it will sink. This applies to ceramics.


Why do my nails bother me when i do dishes?

When doing dishes, your nails get softer as they absorb water and adapt to the conditions of the water, similar to how your fingers get pruney when you have your hands in water for extended periods of time. Nails get soft and weak, especially if they are already thin or weak, so that would be why your nails feel a bit strange or frail when you are doing dishes.
