Do different candle wicks affect how fast candles burn?
The rate at which a candle burns has little to do with the wick. It's all about the wax. When a candle is burning, what's actually on fire is the wax. Yes, the wick burns down along with the rest of the candle, but only the top of it is incinerated. The wick acts as, well, a wick. Liquid wax goes into the wick and up along its fibers by capillary action when a candle is burning. You are familiar with capillary action. That's where liquids, or the atoms or molecules of those liquids, climb around along or inside porous materials. Get a little drop of grease on a shirt, and soon there's a spot as big as a saucer,or at least it seems like it. (The size of the spot will be proportional to how much we like the shirt.) That's capillary action. The molten wax climbs up the wick and is burned when a candle is alight. There are different mixes of wax that permit longer burning, but that begets another question.
How does the size of the ball on the plunger affect the amplitude of the waves?
how does the size of a ball on a plunger affect the amplitude of a wave
Does the size of a bouncy ball affect how high it bounces?
As long as they have the same density and mass, size will not affect it
Does size affect sinking and floating?
No that is to do with density differences not size differences,
Does the size of your head affect how far you can jump?
no your head size does not affect how far you jump. Whoever this is who said that is what Mr. Ayetiwa said your wrong.
How fast can a candle burn if it is lit?
There is no way to tell unless you know the size of the candle, the exact makeup and proportions, the environment surrounding the candle etc.
How does the size of the jar affect the burning time of a candle?
The Smaller the jar the less oxygen, the bigger the jar the more oxygen, and since the candle lives of oxygen the biggest jar with the candle in it will take the longest to burn.
How many minutes or hours does it takes for a candle to burn?
It depends on the size of the candle and what its made of.
How long can candles burn?
A candle can burn depending on the size of it and the length or waxing of the string
How long can a candle burn in a sealed cup?
Depends on the size of the cup.
Does size and shape affect how candles burn if the candles have the same amount of wax?
The shape and angle of candle will effect how long a candle burns because when a candles reaches the middle of glass jar candle, the lack of oxygen to feed the fire causes it to go out.
Does the size of the container effect how fast a candle burns?
yes
Do white candles burn faster?
No the colour of candle does not make any difference. its more over the size and shape of the candle
How long does it take to burn a candle all the way to the bottom?
it depends on the size of the candle. no it really doesnt! so be quitte
Why do colored candles burn slower than the white candle when they are the same size?
the colored ones have chemicals in it that makes it burn faster
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.
Does the color of the candle affect the amount of time a candle will burn?
no, actually it depends on the wick of the candle. the color has nothing to do with it. A candle with a straight wick burns better and longer than a candle with a crooked wick. Also the wax has a lot to do with it. Wax is the most important ingredient that makes a candle burn faster. soft wax has a higher oil content and lower melt temperature; therefore, it burns faster. Candles in jars have a soft wax, and pillar candles have a hard wax. the longest burning candles are pillar candles made of a blend of beeswax and paraffin. To sum it up: color makes no difference at how fast a candle burns. black candles burn no faster than white candles. Wick size is the primary factor determining the candle burning rate. the bigger wick will deliver more fuel to the burning flame.
