Yes and no. There are much better heat conductors, and air has a very low thermal capacity and truly minimal conduction, but air is free (at least so far), air is light, and you can blow it fairly easily. Water is a far better thermal conductor, but it is much heavier, harder to pump, and even tiny leaks cause a big mess. If you need a closed system (such as because water is limited -- no handy river!) you end up having to get the heat from the water to the air in the end. Lots and lots of electronics use air as their coolant, look around you.
What else can I help you with?
Is wool conductor of heat?
Wool holds lot of air. As air is a bad conductor of heat, this makes the wool a bad conductor of heat, but a good insulator.
Why is a sponge a bad conductor off heat?
A sponge is a bad conductor of heat because it is made up of mostly air pockets trapped in its porous structure. Air is a poor conductor of heat compared to solid materials, which prevents heat from transferring efficiently through the sponge.
Is a candle good conductor of heat?
Candle is a bad conductor of heat and electricity.
Why air is considered as a bad conductor?
Air is quite a reasonable conductor of sound, of radio waves, and of radiant heat. It is not a good conductor of say, electricity, because of the lack of free electrons, which are needed for electrical conduction.
Why do you feel cool without cloth in your body as air is bad conductor of heat?
When your skin is exposed to air, the heat from your body is transferred to the surrounding air through convection. Since air is a poor conductor of heat, the heat loss is slower, making you feel cool. Additionally, when your skin is exposed, the sweat on your body evaporates, which further helps in cooling you down.

Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
Why air is poor conductor of heat?
air is poor conductor of heat because we can,t feel
Why mercury is used instead of bad conductor of heat?
Mercury is a poor conductor of heat.
Which is the good heat conductor but bad electric conductor?
your skin
Is gold bad conductor of heat?
No, it's a good conductor.
Is the iron bad conductor of heat?
no
Is plastic a bad conductor of heat?
plastic is a bad conductor of heat because it is made up of different man made material's.
Which is a better conductor of heat air or a copper wire?
A copper wire is a much better conductor of heat than air is.
