The shape of a candle affects how fast it burns because if you have a round candle it would be shorter than a cylinder. The smaller the shape the faster it burns.

Which candle burns faster?

A parrafin candle, a beeswax candle, and a soy candle were burned at he same time. If you are lloking to buy a long lasting candle i suggest buying a parrafin candle( most candles are made from parrafin) Do not buy a bees wax candle they burn twice as fast as a regular candle


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.

Does the brand of the candle determine how fast it burns?

Well, yes and no. Because if you were making the candle, how long it burns would be determined on what size the candle is, what shape the candle is, what size wick and how many wicks you put in it and what kind of Wax you used. ie: Parrafin, Beeswax or Soy etc. And different companies are going to use different materials.

How does oxygen Affect how fast a candle will burn?

when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light. If you give the candle more oxygen then it will burn brighter, but it will burn out more quickly. It all depends whether the candle has a high or low concentration of oxygen. The main reason why the candle burns brighter is because there is a better chance that the oxygen will bump into the wax on the wick. when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light.
