It's a good insulator, although not perfect (lightning gets through it when the voltage gets great enough).

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 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.
Steel is a conductor and not an insulator.

Dry air is an insulator. it does not conduct electricity.
its a good insulator and a good insulato

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.
No because it is a good conductor of heat and electricity!
No. A towel has air in it, therefore making it a conductor.
