With your bare feet, stand with one foot on a rug, and the other foot on a tile, linoleum, or wood floor. Which one feels colder? Which one is really colder? Explain what is going on in a paragraph
The tile feels colder because it is a good heat conductor and it moves heat rapidly away from your skin that is warmer than air temperature. The rug would be a heat insulator. The rug slows down the flow of the heat which would make it feel warm.
The tile feels colder because it's a heat conductor and moves heat rapidly away from your skin which is much warmer than the air temperature. The rug is a heat insulator. The rug slows down the flow of the heat which makes it feel warmer.
