The thermal conductivity, and thermal capacity of iron is a lot higher than for wood. So when you touch wood, a little heat from your finger warms the wood just at that place and isn't conducted away. But for iron, it's as though your finger is trying to heat the whole piece, the heat conducts away rapidly and your finger then keeps trying to supply more until it is as cold as the iron. So the iron feels colder - just because it doesn't warm under your finger like the wood.
What else can I help you with?
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.

On a cold winter day why would an iron post in a park feel much colder to the touch than a wooden bench?
Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood, meaning it can quickly transfer heat away from your hand, making it feel colder. The iron post would lose heat more rapidly to the surroundings than the wooden bench, which retains heat better.

Which season of the year would you put a blanket on a horse?
You would put a blanket on a horse in the winter to save him from getting a cold or even dieing. However, if you do not clip your horse, it is better to leave him unblanketed. To tell if your horse is cold enough to blanket him, touch his ears. If the are cold, he is most likely cold. If they are not, he is fine as is. Also look for abnormal behavior. If he is standing listlessly with his head down, something is wrong, and it may be that he is cold.

Why does a metal bench feel colder than a wooden one in winter?
Metal is a better conductor of heat than wood, which means it can more effectively draw heat away from your body, making it feel colder to the touch than a wooden bench. In cold weather, the metal bench will quickly reach the outdoor temperature, while wood insulates better and will feel less cold initially.
How do you make water cold?
An easy way to make water cold is to put it in the refrigerator. If this is not possible, adding colder water would make water colder. Actually, adding ice would make this process faster, as it is colder than cold water. And dry ice would make it cold even faster than ice (but dry ice is dangerous- be careful).
Why do feet feel colder when you come in from outside in the winter?
When you come in from the cold, the blood vessels in your feet constrict in response to the warming environment, reducing blood flow and making your feet feel colder. Additionally, cold temperatures can also cause the nerves in your feet to be more sensitive to temperature changes, making them feel colder than they actually are.
Why is house cold when the winter wind blows?
Houses lose heat through conduction, convection, and air leaks. When colder air from the winter wind enters the house, it displaces the warm air, making the house feel colder. Proper insulation and sealing can help keep the house warmer in the winter.
