Default "R" for insulation????

Have you tried Aluminium foil its cheaper and more practical
fire resistant and easier to install it is something you could buy from
a grocery store
R means retardant

My last question before I get started with insulating my crawl space.
Remember this is my first time doing this. What does the "R" mean for
insulation. I was going to insulated my crawl space with fiberglass
insulation but a man from the big orange box told me that for a crawl
space I could use (i forgot the exact name) styrofoam and glue it to the
walls and it would have an R10 rating (or something like that). What did
he mean and is styrofoam just as effective as insulation (in Colorado) for
keeping the heat in?
