For such a short question, there are certainly a couple of very
weird things about this one, which raise other questions:
-- Who said air cannot move ?
-- Who said a good insulator has to be able to move ?
it is good heat insulator, as it has air in it. as air is a good insulator of heat, the sponge, which has lots of pockets of air also becomes a good insulator
Straw can be a good insulator due to its hollow structure that traps air, which is a good insulating material. It is often used in construction as a natural insulator for buildings.
Insulator.
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.
Styrofoam is a type of plastic that has had a lot of air incorporated into it. This material has a lot of air spaces with trapped air throughout its volume. We have been taught that air that cannot move, like air trapped in insulating strands of, say, fiberglass, will act as an insulator. The dead air cannot move and transfer thermal energy via the mechanism of covection. Styrofoam has almost countless dead air spaces within it, and it is a pretty good insulator.

Yes, air is a good insulator.Yes, air is a good insulator of both heat and electricity

it is a good insulator because its a warm and keeps heat in by trapping it with air
An insulator, by definition. Examples: small amounts of rubber or large amounts of air.
Insulator.
it depends how thick the air is!
Either a vacuum (thermos bottle) or air that can't move ... which is just what foam insulation is (tiny bubbles).
Wadding, or filling, will trap pockets of air. As the air is trapped, it cannot convect heat so easily, and it is also more difficult for heat to be conducted. So, trapped air is a good insulator.
an example of a good instulator is air and ...........................................................
