Answer 1: Actually, it does get hot. In fact, if you wrap a potato in aluminum foil and put it in a hot over, the foil will get hot first. This is because metals like aluminum are very good conductors of heat, so they absorb heat very quickly.
The same thing happens when you heat up a solid (like ice) -- the molecules stop sticking together, and the solid melts into a liquid. Most of the things you use every day will melt inside an oven -- think of ice, or glass, or plastic things (please don't try to experiment with melting things in your oven!).nswer 3: Actually, aluminum foil does get hot when it is in the oven. For example, if you wrap up a baked potato in foil and cook it in the oven, the foil will be too hot too touch. What you might be thinking about is, for example, laying a piece of foil in the oven (like when people make a tent over their turkey).
