When burning magnesium the light shines much brighter... so much to the point where it can blind your eyes if you look directly at it while burning... on the other hand methane can be observed while being lit and it wont mess up your sight in other words it is NOT nearly as bright!
No fundamentally they are the same process, oxidation.
Cooking
how is burning magneium different than burning
This is a chemical change, like any other burning reaction: magnesium is turned into magnesium oxide by burning reaction with oxygen (from air). 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
The diagram shows four gas-jars. Each contains a different gas. Burning magnesium is put into each jar. air,exhailed air, nitrogen, oxagen
By burning it (reacting it with Oxygen)
It shows the change of when the magnesium is burning in the presence of oxygen.
Burning of magnesium (or anything else) requires continuing combination with oxygen. If a burning piece of magnesium is transferred to an atmosphere of nitrogen, no additional magnesium can react with oxygen because none is available for reaction.
Burning methane is a chemical change, as is burning anything as you are changing one set of substance into a completely different set.
After burning of magnesium MgO (magnesium oxide) is obtained.
If you mean is burning methane comparatively better than releasing it into the atmosphere, then yes it is. Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than carbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane. So burning methane is good for the environment.
We can stop burning methane. Actually burning methane is better than letting it escape into the atmosphere. Methane, when burnt, emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, but methane, when released into the air, is twenty-one times more dangerous.
No. Burning magnesium, or burning anything for that matter, is a chemical change. The magnesium reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, and to some degree reacts with nitrogen to form magnesium nitride.
This is a chemical change, like any other burning reaction: magnesium is turned into magnesium oxide by burning reaction with oxygen (from air). 2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO

MgO, Magnesium oxide.
Methane
The product of the magnesium burning is magnesium oxide (MgO).
By burning different substances e.g copper burns green and magnesium burns white.
