Question:

Newspaper is a good insulator right? and if it is can you please tell me why?

hey everybody .i've been researching alot and i couldn't seem to find the answer to this, The first one with a great answer and with details gets 10 points, please use heat terms, Thank you very much.you all rock!

Answer:

Actually the thing that makes a newspaper a good insulator is that it has a lot of trapped air in the paper fibersIt is the same idea as why blankets are good insulatorsAir itself is a fairly poor thermal conductor, and so any device that traps air (like a thermal cup for instance) can make a good insulator.
All babies are differentMy baby has always been a bit of a hot baby and it took me a while to figure out she was waking often upset because she was too warmShe likes it much cooler then I could handle, I took the advice which was given to me to dress her the same as I would dress myself but I've learned that she likes it much cooler then me.
each babe is different!
My son was and is the same way.he runs a little bit hotter than mostMy inlaws keep their house uncomfortably warm in the winter.we have to send a t-shirt and shorts with him or his face will be red within 15 minutes.
