What is a heat conductor?

Answer by  fellwanderer (146)

A heat conductor is a material that allows heat energy to be easily transferred through it. In other words, when it is placed in contact with a heat source, it will warm up quickly and transfer heat energy away. An example of a heat conductor is copper. A counter example is the heat insulator such as air.
