Here's why:
* Heat Transfer: Heat naturally flows from hotter objects to colder objects.
* Insulation: Materials that are good thermal insulators resist this flow of heat. They act as a barrier, slowing down or preventing the transfer of heat energy.
Examples of Insulation:
* Clothing: Wool, down, and synthetic fabrics trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat.
* Building Materials: Fiberglass, foam, and mineral wool are commonly used in walls and attics to reduce heat loss in homes.
* Vacuum Bottles: A vacuum between the inner and outer walls prevents heat transfer by conduction or convection.
