GeneralYour feet feel warmer on a rug than on a tile floor because:
both items are the ambient temperature in the room, but the rug is an insulator that totally blocks the transfer
of heat from your skin into the floor
the rug has a much lower density than the tile, so the molecules needed for conduction are spread out too far
to function well
the tile's higher density allows it to transfer thermal units of cold into your skin at a faster rate, increasing the
feeling of heat loss
both items are the ambient temperature in the room, but the tile is a better conductor of heat so the transfer
of body heat into the floor is faster than the rug
