From my understanding, good heat conductors like metals are cold to the touch because they transfer heat from your hand more efficiently than non conductors such as wood. However, glass is also cold to the touch but is not a good heat conductor. Why is that the case?
In: Physics
It’s not as good of a heat conductor as metal but it’s still a decent heat conductor compared to materials like plastic or wood. It feels cold when your hand is warmer than the glass.
