For sure. Furthermore it is often badly done merely to sell strange candles. So don't be disappointed if the candle doesn't burn right. This was all figured out 500 years ago.

Yes,it does. The darker colored candles burn faster because darker colors attract more light.

Not usually. However, it all depends on what the company put in the candle to make it glow that color or what they put in the candle to shape it.

The wider the candle is the longer it will take for the wax to melt and be burnt, but the rate at which the wax is burnt remains the same. Does that answer your question.

Does the color of a candle affect the burning rate?

the color has nothing to do with the candle at diffrent burning rate it is the wick. We found that color does make a difference. We bought the exact same candles except each candle was a different color. Found out that the white candle burned down the fastest, the red was next, and so on. So candle wax color does make a difference in the burning rate of a candle. ( My daughter had a science experiment)


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.


Does color of a candle effects it burning rate?

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 cent affect the candles rate of burning?

The scent [note correct spelling] does not usually affect the rate of burning of a candle. There would be an effect only if the chemical that furnishes the scent happened also to be a catalyst for burning or to contain a flame retardant, but most chemicals added to candles to supply them with scent do not have such properties.

What effect does color have on candle burning?

I'm sure it is true that different coloring agents have different degrees of flamability, but the effect would be too small to detect, since they are present in only trace amounts. Most candles are made almost entirely of parrafin and burn at the same rate - with some variation based on the size of the wick.
