Conduction is heat transfer from the hotter part of an object to the colder part without particle displacement. In solids, heat transfer takes place m

Metals such as aluminium

Metals such as aluminium, iron, and steel are good conductors of heat. Glass, wood, clay, porcelain, and air are poor conductors of heat. Poor conduct

Air is a poor conductor

Air is a poor conductor of heat. Wool traps air in its pores, and trapped air between two thin blankets keeps the body warmer than one thick blanket.

Convection is heat transfer by

Convection is heat transfer by the actual movement of liquid or gas particles. Heated air expands, becomes lighter, and rises. Smoke rises because it

Soil heats up faster than water

Soil heats up faster than water and cools faster too. During the day, warm air over land rises and cooler air moves from sea to land. This is sea bree
