Heat from the flame melts the wax. The molten wax is drawn up the wick by capillary action. Heat from the flame vaporizes the molten wax in the wick as the wax enters the flame. The hot wax vapors burn as they mix with air.
The wax itself does not burn; instead, it melts when exposed to the flame's heat. The liquid wax is drawn up the wick through capillary action and vaporizes, which then burns to produce light and heat.
Yes, the thickness of a candle can affect its burn time. Thicker candles tend to burn for a longer time compared to thinner candles due to the larger amount of wax they contain. Thinner candles typically burn faster because they have less wax to consume.
Candles burn faster at room temperature because the wax melts more easily, allowing the wick to draw up the liquid wax quicker. In hotter temperatures, the wax may melt too fast, causing the candle to burn more quickly, while colder temperatures can make the wax harden and burn more slowly.
To burn wax melts, place one in a wax warmer or burner designed for this purpose. Light the tealight candle or switch on the electric warmer underneath the dish. The wax will melt and release its fragrance into the room. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with your specific wax warmer for best results.
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.
Yes, wax paper can burn when exposed to heat because it is coated with a thin layer of wax that is flammable.
Wax paper can burn so it is best not to use it in the oven. A great alternative to wax paper is parchment paper. It will not burn in the oven.

Because they are wax and wax doesn't burn, it melts.:-)
Yes, it does.

No. Not all candles are made of wax. A candle can be made of soap, oil, fat.
NO, it can actually burn your hair out.
because in the wax it has something in that makes it burn faster.
Melting candle wax is a chemical change. Why? Because when you cook or burn candle wax it melts so it is a chemical change.
