Thermal Insulator

Real World Example

Imagine trying to have a conversation in a crowded room where everyone is talking loudly at once, making it hard for your words to travel to your friend on the other side. This situation is similar to how a thermal insulator works, as it prevents heat from easily traveling through it, just like how the noise prevents your voice from reaching your friend. Just as the loud chatter acts as a barrier to your communication, a thermal insulator acts as a barrier to heat transfer, slowing down the movement of heat from one side of the material to the other.
