Why attenuation is much higher in coaxial cable than in twisted pair cable?

It is not true. Attenuation is higher in twisted pair cable. See related links:
It is, because coaxial cable is concluded system and magnetic field of signal in coaxial cable is kept inside the cable so there is little energy losses because no energy is spent on inducing currents outside of cable.

Attenuation of coaxial cable?
It is the loss of data from the coaxial cable during transmission .
How do the characteristics of coaxial cable compare with twisted-pair cable?
Both the coaxial cable and twisted pair cable have a basic connection medium for network cabling. <<>> Coaxial cable can be used for transmission of RF (radio frequencies) whereas Cat 5 (twisted pairs cable) can not.
What is the attenuation level of a twisted pair cable?
Attenuation occurs in all copper cable regardless of whether it is twisted or not. This is because the copper atoms actually 'resist" the electrical voltage being applied (a physics principle).
The difference between UTP cable and Coaxial cable?
A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other. Since they have a common center, or axis, they are called "coaxial" (co-axial).A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other.

What are the different types of cables in computing?
Coaxial cable, Optical fiber cable, Twisted Pair
Will a rg6u coaxial cable replace a 5c2v coaxial cable?
Generally speaking, RG6U can replace 5C-2V coaxial cable because these are cables with very similar characteristics. RG6U cable is even better because it has lesser attenuation than 5C-2V. So you can without a doubt use this cable if you're replacing cable for your TV.
Name the two basic types of transmission line which is most widely used?
coaxial cable and twisted pair cable. coaxial cable is the most widely used type of transmission line.
Are twisted pair wire and coxial cable the same?
No. Coaxial cable is a single wire that has a thick coating around it. A common use of coaxial cable is for cable television. This is the cable that goes from the jack on the wall into your cable box. Twisted pair contains multiple cables which are split into pairs and twisted together. CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cable are all examples of twisted pair. There are a total of 8 wires inside. Every two wires are twisted together to form a pair. The purpose of the cables being twisted together is to reduce electrical interference between the wires.
Difference between coaxial cable and wave guide?
Waveguides are used at higher frequencies where their loss is lower than coaxial cable. Coaxial cable is used at lower frequencies where waveguides are too large and heavy. Lastly Coaxial cable is also used at higher frequencies where some flexibility is required.
What cables have typically been used in cable plants?
fiber optic, coaxial, and twisted-pair
