Why is vacuum a good insulator

Answers:
Because it prevents the transfer of heat by eliminating the medium (matter).
A perfect vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. Radiation is the only form of heat transfer that does not need a medium.

Relevant answers:
  • What are good insulator and bad insulator?
    some good insulators are glass styrofoam and almost anything that does not conduct heat very well
  • Are good thermal insulators good electrical insulators too?
    noA2: Not necessarily. Solid plastics or solid glass or ceramic have high dielectric strength but not good thermal insulation. Closed-cell foam has good thermal insulating properties but not as good...
  • Is a good insulator?
    cotton wool
  • A good insulator?
    A good insulator for electricity would be plastic, rubber, glass and ceramic. Hope this helps!
  • What is not a good insulator?
    Gold, Silver, copper or metal.
