a vacuum flask is not 100% vacuum. it contains some particles or gas molecules which absorbs a small amount of heat.
A vacuum is maintained in a thermos flask in order to prevent heat transfer by conduction and convection. The absence of air molecules in the vacuum reduces the amount of heat that can be transferred through these processes, helping to keep the contents of the flask hot or cold for longer periods of time.
Vacuum (absence of matter) is an excellent insulator because matter is the vehicle that carries heat from one place to another. A vacuum flask contains a vacuum-sealed space between the outer and inner walls of the vessel. Without a vehicle, the heat cannot easily be transferred across the gap between the two walls.
The design of the vacuum flask minimizes heat transfer by conduction because it has a double-walled structure with a vacuum between the walls. This vacuum acts as an insulator, preventing heat from transferring through conduction between the inner and outer walls of the flask.
Heat transfer by convection can be minimized in a vacuum flask because there is no air (or fluid) inside to carry heat through convection currents. The vacuum creates a barrier that reduces heat transfer by convection, as there is no medium for the heat to move through. This helps to keep the contents of the vacuum flask at their original temperature for a longer period of time.
Using vacuum as an insulator avoids heat loss by conduction. Heat transfer is minimised by reflective silver surfaces that are applied to the flask. This prevents thermal radiation from entering and escaping the flask.

The outer surfaces do not need to be shiny. The interior ones do, to reflect heat back rather than let the heat pass out of the vacuum flask. The vacuum between the double walls of the flask also reduces heat loss.

The silvered surface in a vacuum flask helps to reflect heat back into the container, reducing heat transfer by radiation. This helps to maintain the temperature of the contents inside the flask by minimizing heat loss or gain.

The vacuum layer between the inner and outer walls of the flask prevents conduction of heat as there are no particles or molecules to transfer heat. The reflective surface coating on the inner wall of the flask helps to minimize heat transfer by reflecting heat back towards the liquid inside the flask.
The cork in a vacuum flask acts as an insulator, minimizing the flow of heat between the inside and outside of the flask. This helps to maintain the temperature of the contents by reducing heat transfer through conduction and convection. The cork creates a barrier that traps air and prevents heat from escaping or entering the flask efficiently.
The inside of a vacuum flask is typically silver or metallic in color. This reflective surface helps to maintain the temperature of the contents by reflecting heat back into the flask or minimizing heat transfer through radiation.
The vacuum between the glass walls in a vacuum flask acts as an insulator, preventing heat transfer through conduction or convection. This helps to maintain the temperature of the contents by minimizing heat loss or gain.
The process by which heat is transferred through a vacuum by electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
