Can the heat of the sun melt a candle?
The high temperature of a candle involves relatively little mass and hence, relatively few very fast moving particles. A bowl of warm water has tremendously more warm, and hence moderately fast moving particles. The difference in the number of particles (or molecules) in this case outweighs the difference in the speed with which they are moving.
What name is given to a process such as burning a candle?

Is it safe to put a candle in sand?
Yes, but the sand might not support the candle very well, and if the lighted candle were to fall over, there might be a fire danger depending upon where it is located and what materials, other than the sand, surround it. Putting a candle in sand at the beach, for example, would be no problem at all even if the lighted candle were to fall over. But putting a candle in a bowl of sand on the dining room table would be risky because if the lighted candle were to fall over it might cause a fire. Of course, if you don't intend to light the candle, putting it in sand is perfectly safe.
Is the candle organic or inorganic?
Beewax are type of lipids.Lipids are organic compounds.
What earth process would it be if you put your hand next to a candle flame it doesnt really hurt but if you put your hand directly above the flame you burn yourself?
The process of heat rising would be the earth process in force if a candle is touched on the side and it is cooler than a hand over the candle. The hand over the candle will get burned because of the direction of the heat of the flame.
Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.
Does the temperature of a candle jar inhibit growth of psychrotrophs What is the average temperature inside candle jar and how long does it take flame to burn out?
The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the molar heat of combustion of candle wax?
These are some hints that will help you to answeryour questions:ExperimentStep 1 Measure 100 mL of water and pour it into an empty soda can. Suspend the thermometer in the water using Sticky Tack in the lip to hold it in place. The thermometer should not touch the bottom or sides of the can. This device is called a calorimeter.Step 2 Cut the other soda can 1 or 2 inches from the bottom. Throw away the top. Measure the mass of the bottom of the soda can. Measure the mass of the candle, and place it in the bottom of the soda can.Step 3 Check the temperature of the water. Light the paraffin candle and, holding your calorimeter with the tongs, move it over the burning paraffin just high enough so there is enough oxygen to keep the fire burning. Be careful not to touch the can or burn yourself.CalculationsStep 4 Watch the thermometer and note the temperature when the candle stops burning. Measure the mass of the candle in the bottom of the soda can and subtract the mass of the bottom of the soda can as measured in Step 2.Step 1 Subtract the final candle mass from the initial candle mass to calculate the total mass burned. Subtract the initial temperature from the final temperature to measure the change in temperature.Step 2 Assume 1 mL of water equals one gram; therefore, this experiment used 100 grams of water, and it takes 4.18 Joules (J) to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. Multiply the grams of water by the change in temperature by 4.18 J to measure the total thermal energy it took to bring the temperature to its highest point in Joules.Step 3 Divide the the thermal energy created by mass (in grams) of the candle that were burned to calculate the heat of combustion of paraffin wax expressed in J/g.
Does temperature effect how a candle burns?
Yes. When a candle is in cold temperatures, it tends to melt much slower than a candle burning in room temperature.
Does a burning candle maintain homeostasis?
yes, because if the external temperature changes to a cooler temperature, the lit candle flame gets smaller.
Does temperature affect the way a candle burns?
no not really
How does the atmosphere's temperature effect the burn rate of a candle?
the atmospheres temperature changes the candle in size. i am a scientist, and have done this experiment many times. believe in my answer, for my answer is the ultimate truth.
Which measuring device used in cooking or candle making options are barrometer wind vane thermometer or rain gage?
glass tube
Does the temperature of a room affect how fast a candle melts?
The room temperature is too low for an effect.
What temperature do electric candle warmers reach?
They get about 140 degrees.
What temperature does candle wax turn into gas?
