Does insulation keep things cold?

yes and hot too. Insulation is a heat barrier -- it tries to prevent heat exchange between the two sides. Vacuum is the best. Then air. Metals are the worst. ====================


Is air a good insulator or conductor?

Air is a good insulator, both of heat and electricity. It is a good insulator of heat because its particles are far apart, and particles need to bump into each other to pass on heat energy. It is a good insulator of electricity as it does not contain any delocalised electrons, which carry electrical charge. Air is a good insulator when it comes to convection in limited spaces because tiny little convection currents are made which stop the energy reaching the edge of the room or material it's trapped in. e.g double glazed windows. research on those, it should help explain. if not then fibreglass insulation, or cavity walls. research how they insulate.

Why bubble wrap is a good insulator?

It is not a good insulator if you are dealing with temperature because of the air pockets and the temperature of air inside a bubble (air pocket) but it would be a good insulator if your dealing with something related to circuits because plastic is not a conductor.


Is fabric a good insulator?

It is a good insulator because the fabric has little fibers in it to keep the cool AIR in, which means that the fabric is strong. ! :)

Air insulator or conductor?

Air is typically considered to be a good insulator, meaning it does not conduct electricity well. However, if the air contains impurities or moisture, it can become a conductor, allowing electricity to flow through it.
