Does insulation keep things cold?
yes and hot too. Insulation is a heat barrier -- it tries to prevent heat exchange between the two sides. Vacuum is the best. Then air. Metals are the worst. ====================
Does Styrofoam keep liquids warm?
Styrofoam is used to keep drinks cold or warm.
Is styrofoam a good insulator to keep hot water hot?
Yes, because it does not conduct heat.
Why is tin not a good insulator?
This is because tin is an excellent conductor of heat, meaning, heat passes right through it. So if you are trying to keep something hot from getting cold, the heat will escape and if you are trying to keep something cold from melting then heat will get in and melt it.
Does metal or foam keep water hotter longer?

What is an example of water as an insulator?
An example of water acting as an insulator is in a thermos flask. The layer of water between the inner and outer walls of the flask helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside by reducing heat transfer through conduction or convection. This insulating property of water helps to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold for extended periods of time.
What can a thermal insulator not do?
A thermal insulator is totally incapable of answering this question
Is fiberglass a good insulator?
yes it is. its keep the cold in and the hot air outside and vice versa.
Does foam keep things cold?
Yes it would as insulators keep in the heat and keep it out depending on whether the item is hot or cold.
Why a bottle with many layers can keep water colder for a longer period?
Because there is lots of air pockets, and air is an excellent insulator so it keeps the cold inside the bottle.
Why are newspapers used to keep cold foods cold?
