What reflects heat the best?

Answer 1

One of the best heat reflectors is the aluminum.

The surface of aluminum does not absorb heat, butto reclect95% of the infrared rays which strike it. Since aluminum foil has such a low mass to air ratio, very little conduction can take place, particularly when only 5% of the rays are absorbed.

Answer 2

Not surprisingly, surfaces that reflect other types of energy are usually pretty good at reflecting heat. Usually surfaces that look metallic and like a mirror are pretty good. This is one reason why they silver the surfaces of thermoses and other cryogenic storage vessels - to reflect the heat instead of absorbing or transmitting it.

Answer 3

Materials with high reflectivity or high albedo, such as shiny metal surfaces, polished stones, or white paint, are good at reflecting heat. These materials bounce a large portion of the incoming solar radiation back into the atmosphere, which helps keep objects or surfaces cool.

Answer 4

A good quality mirror reflects just about all the incident light

Answer 5

heat can be reflected by many things though i dont know all of them ill give u a few glass, tar, asphault usually black objects that have a glass structure to it

Answer 6

For example aluminium.

Answer 7

aluminium
