1. Thermos flaSk has a two layered glass container and the air between these layers is removed to create vacuum.
2. The inner silver coating protects the contents (tea, coffee, milk) poured in the flask from losing heat through radiation.
3. As there is no medium between the walls of the flask. Neither conduction nor convection of heat takes place.
4. As a result, heat is not transferred outside the flask so it is retained inside the flask for a few hours.
