The ground (earth if your Irish like me) is a protective conductor,in the event of a exposed conductive part of anything comes in contact with a current carrying conductor the earth dissipates the current to ground by a path of least resistance,ie a person would be harder to get through than a copper cable

What is glass a conductor or an insulator or a semi conductor?
Glass is an insulator. That's why it's used to hold powerline conductors to the cross-bars of power poles. No current leaks to ground because the glass does not conduct electron flow (current).
Is a rubber duck an insulator or a conductor?
an insulator
Why does my TO-220 LM7805 regulator need an insulator before a heat sink?
The case of the TO-220 LM7805 regulator is device ground. If the heatsink is also ground, you do not need an insulator. If the heatsink is not ground, or if you need to maintain distinct grounds, or if the LM7805 ground is something else besides ground, you need an insulator. Its up to you, since you are responsible for system and circuit design.
Is dirt an insulator of heat?
Yes. Used on top of metal lids in in ground cooking pits.
What does a outer insulator do in a plug?
The insulator keeps the electrode in the center of the plug from contacting the engine block on the outside. if the insulator wasnt there, the plug would have no spark because all the coil energy would go straight to the ground on the circuit, the engine block
