materials such as fibreglass are good insulators because they contain pockets of trapped air. :)

Why is fiberglass used to insulate wooden buildings?
Air is an excellent insulator. Fiberglass is a good insulator because of the vast amount of air spaces trapped in it.
Is fiberglass a insulator or a conductor?
Fiberglass is a good insulator. It's often used in home insulation!
Is a fiberglass a conductor or insulator?
Fiberglass and foam board insulation work well because they interfere with the convective flow essential to that mechanism. The tiny air- or gas-filled spaces in the insulator frustrate heat flow because they greatly extend the time necessary for convective and conductive flow to occur. Foe heat to move through such a material, each cell -- and there are millions -- must relay the heat across it. The longer it takes, the slower the heat flow.
Is sponge a good heat insulator?
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
Is a foam cup A good conductor of heat?
It is a good insulator of heat :)
Is fiberglass a conductor or an isulator of heat?
insulator

What is a good insulator and why?
a good insulator of heat keeps the heat in, so you stay warm
Why is fiberglass a good insulator?
A: Glass is a very good insulator and fiber glass are just fibers of glass. VERY dangerous if inhaled because of it.
Why is insulation a good insulator?

What does the term 'insulator' means?
insulator is a object that is not a good conductorSo it keeps the heat in.
Is a sponge a good insulation?
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
What is the difference between a good insulator and a bad one?
A good insulator is good at stopping heat escaping, whereas a bad insulator is not very good at trapping heat and lets it out.
