Do colored candles burn at the same rate as white candles?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor. Wind and temperature will also affect the rate of burning.
Why does a white candle burn at a faster rate than a colored candle?
Coloring of a candle does not affect the burn time of candles. Larger wicks on candles may cause it to burn faster, and the type of wax used also affects burning rate. Soft wax, typically found in jars, has a higher oil content, which allows it to burn faster. Pillar candles most commonly use harder wax, which will burn slower.
Does a candle holder effect burn rate?
yes the candle holder effects the candle burning, because it will hold the candle back from melting faster. i perfer not using one...and it'll be a variable
Why do candles burn at different rates?
The type of wax is going to dictate the burning rate of a candle, as will the diameter of the candle. A large diameter candle will burn its length more slowly than a small diameter one. Think how fast birthday cake candles burn down.
Do thicker candles burns faster than thin candles?
The thickness of the wick mostly determines the burn rate. The rate, as used above, is the speed with which the candle wax is consumed, not the rate that the candle burns downward
Does the room temperature affect the rate a candle will burn?
No, But Chuck Norris does

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.
Does the surrounding temperature affect the speed at which candle burns?
Typically, a room temperature candle will burn faster than a cold candle. A rate of burn is determined by the wick effect. The flame heats the wax beneath the wick, pulling the wax upwards along the wick to provide fuel. The heat evaporates at the top of the flame. Wax that is cold takes more energy to heat and melt, thus slowing the rate at which the wax is consumed
Does area affect a candels burning rate?
The area of a candle itself would not normally affect the burning rate of the candle, but the area and transport rate of the candle wick could affect these properties. When in use, mot candles burn at the upper end of their wicks, to which the liquefied material of the candle is transported through its wick to bring the liquefied material into optimal contact with oxygen from the air. If a wick is extra large and/or transports the liquefied substance of the candle with more speed than average, the candle would burn faster.

What burns fastest a thick fat candle or a thiner candle?
The thickness of the wick mostly determines the burn rate. The rate, as used above, is the speed with which the candle wax is consumed, not the rate that the candle burns downward.
How does the color of a candle affect the rate at which it burns?
YES
Why do colored candle burn faster than white?
Probable it is the influence of impurities but the difference is minimal.
What affects the rate which a candle burns?
the darker the color the more faster the candles burn.
What causes colored candles to burn faster than white candles?
White or colored candles may burn at the same rate or at different rates. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax.
