This is a physics question i really need help on. Can anyone figure out for me if MITTENS or GLOVES are better to keep your hands warm in cold weather?

Materials with the highest density and volume insulate best.

Given mittens of the same thickness of the gloves, Mittens will have less surface area (as all the fingers are together), and so, lose less heat. All of your fingers will also keep each-other warmer, than when insulated from each-other.
Mostly, mittens have longer bodies where they meet your arm, so fit over or under what you are wearing, and provide better warmth than gloves will.
If you need finger mobility, obviously, mittens would be a pain in the arse. You could get fingerless gloves with a fold-over mitten.
