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.

Is aluminum foil a conductor or insulator?
Insulator or conductor depending on the circumstances. Aluminum foil conducts heat, but it cuts off air flow and reduces evaporation of fluids. Aluminum foil reflects and thus minimizes radiation transmission. With foods it is more useful as an insulator. It also acts as an insulator on windows. But, aluminum is definitely a good heat conductor.

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.

Is moist air a conductor or insulator?
Moist air is a very poor conductor of electricity. However, the presence of moisture can slightly increase the conductivity of air compared to dry air due to the dissolved ions in water. Overall, though, moist air is still considered to be a good insulator.
Is iron a insulator?
No because it is a good conductor of heat and electricity!
Is towel an conductor?
No. A towel has air in it, therefore making it a conductor.
