Insulation
The act of insulating; detachment from other objects; isolation.
Insolation
The solar radiation striking Earth or another planet.
Insulation
The state of being insulated; detachment from other objects; isolation.
Insolation
The rate of delivery of solar radiation per unit of horizontal surface.
Insulation
Any of a variety of materials designed to reduce the flow of heat, either from or into a building.

Insolation
The incident radiant energy emitted by the sun which reaches a unit area over a period of time, typically measured over a horizontal area at the Earth's surface or at the top of Earth's atmosphere.
Insulation
(engineering) The act of separating a body from others by nonconductors, so as to prevent the transfer of electricity, heat, or sound
Insolation
The rate of delivery of such radiation.
Insulation
(engineering) The state of a body so separated.
Insolation
The act or process of exposing to the rays of the sun, such as for the purpose of medical treatment, drying or maturing, as fruits, drugs, etc., or of rendering acid, as vinegar.
