Fire is a combination of heat and light energy emitted by a chemical reaction, and as such it has no mass and therefore no density.

How does Canada's population density compare to the rest of the world?

Canada's population density is quite dense. The density is densely condensed into one densely dense country. The population density is dense enough to form a flaming ball of people if a single fart is lit on fire. and on a whole other note, yes, it is possible to light farts on fire. But back onto density. Ah yes, density, how dense can the population get? well if you squished the whole population of Canada together and rolled them all up into one big dense ball, it would be half the size of 'mericas dense ball. Then we would have some foreign dude come and light them in a blaze and the fire that gets the biggest, that country will have the smallest population density. you are welcome :)

Why does the Hot air balloon rise when the fire is lit beneath the balloon?

The fire warms up the air and the air becomes less dense. So the balloon traps the warm air and since less dense gases rise with denser gasses around it, the warm air rises taking the balloon with it.


Why will water not extinguish a hydrocarbon fire?

Most hydrocarbons are less dense than water. So, if you put water on a hydrocarbon fire, they will simply float on top of it, rending the water ineffective.


Does fire float on water?

Many combustible substances (substances that will burn) are lighter (less dense) than water and will float - paper, wood and gasoline are a few examples. When ignited (set on fire), these substances will continue to float, and so will the fire.

Flames of fire rise even though gravity pulls things downwards?

Yes. Fire goes upward precisely because Earth's gravity pulls things downward. The fire is lighter (less dense) than the air that replaces it, so the air pushes the hot air from the fire upwards.


Can you set fire to a river?

Petrol will float on the surface of water, as petrol is less dense than water. So, it would be possible to set fire to a river, provided petrol is poured over the surface first!
