Trapped air acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer between our bodies and the colder environment. When air is contained in layers, such as in clothing or building materials, it minimizes convection and conduction, preventing heat loss. This insulating property helps maintain a stable, warm temperature close to the body, making it essential for comfort in cold conditions.

What role fats play in your body?
they keep us warm and are energy reserves
What type of air mass forms off the southeast coast of the us?
The air mass that forms off the southeast coast of the US is known as a maritime tropical air mass. It originates from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, bringing warm and moist conditions to the region.
Why do woolen blankets keep us warm than cotton sheets?
Wool is a better insulator than cotton because of its natural crimp, which creates air pockets that trap heat. This insulation helps to retain body heat and keep you warm. Additionally, wool fibers can absorb and release moisture, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you comfortable in a wider range of conditions than cotton.
Which air mass would cause a hot humid spell in the northeastern US during?
A warm, moist air mass from the Gulf of Mexico, known as a maritime tropical air mass, would likely cause a hot and humid spell in the northeastern US during summer. This air mass brings warm and humid conditions, leading to high temperatures and high levels of humidity.
Is Air from the thermosphere Warmed by heat from earth surface?
Only partially, by warm winds. Mainly radiation from our Sun gives us heat.
Does rubber keep us warm?
Rubber is a poor conductor of heat. A suit of rubber can trap water (or air) around the skin and keep that water at the same temperature. This insulates the trapped water (or air) so that the skin feels warm. Rubber is a good insulator.
How do woolen clothes keep us warm in winters?
Woolen clothes keeps people warm in winters because the air gets trapped inside. People have been wearing woolen clothing for years in the winter months.
Why woolen clothes keep us warm?
Its just because woolen clothes have fibres and between those fibres air is trapped which reduces heat loss. Air reduces heat loss because it is an insulator or poor conductor of heat.
Why does foil keep us warm?
heat keep us warm :)
On the visit to mars what would we need?
Air, water and food, and something to keep us warm.
How do blankets work to keep us warm?
Blankets work to keep us warm by trapping and retaining our body heat. The material of the blanket acts as an insulator, preventing heat from escaping and creating a barrier between our bodies and the colder air around us. This helps to maintain a comfortable temperature and keep us cozy and warm.
How woolen clothes keeps us warm in winter?
Woolen clothes keeps people warm in winters because the air gets trapped inside. People have been wearing woolen clothing for years in the winter months.
Why do you have heat?
To keep us alive and keep us warm
Do synthetic fibers or natural fibers keep us warmest?
NATURAL FIBRES KEEP WARM. NATURAL FIBRES KEEP WARM.
Why does wool keep us so warm?
they keep the sheep warm and they cut it and turn it into coat jersy but different colour
Why is cotton sock better at slowing heat loss compared to no sock at all?
A trapped layer of air.Air is a poor conductor of heat. If you can keep a static (non moving) laver of air next to your skin then that layer of air will keep you at a more comfortable temperature. To keep warm natural fibers/fibres like wool trap air next to the body. Now many synthetic fibers do the same. That means the body warms that layer of air that is trapped and the body stays at a comfortable temperature even if it is cold outside. We are always colder in wind that stops us from holding that trapped layer of air close to our skin. We button up or zip up our jacket trying to keep our air layer intact.The reverse is also true. Wearing loose cotton clothing in extremely hot weather means that the trapped layer of air stops you from feeling the full strength of the outside heat. Usually in hot weather we like a breeze to blow away the air near our body and evaporate the perspiration on our skin. The evaporated water carries away heat from our skin.Cotton is a natural fiber that will trap air next to your skin and keep your feet warm.
How animals keep warm?
They have layers of fat, feathers or fur to keep themselves warm. Unlike us, animals have fur so they can keep warm. Take a rabbit for instants, they live in a burrow so they have a warm home.
