The answer will depend on the object whose temperature you are trying to increase as well as the substance that the candles are made from. Beeswax and paraffin, for example, have different calorific values.

What should air conditioning be set at night?
Air conditioning can be set at whatever you choose, but keeping it at 78 degrees can keep your electric bill low. Each degree that it is lowered can raise your bill by 3%.
Average temp of earth?
There is no accurate and consistent single temperature of the surface of the Earth. The temperature varies moment to moment, and from one point to another - and from century to century. However, if you averaged over space over the course of a year, the average temperature would be about 16 degrees Celsius.Highest recorded has been 56.7oC and lowest -89oC. These temperatures are dry bulb temperatures.Most of the Earth is subject to heating and cooling by the oceans and the atmosphere. Except for extreme locations on Earth (deserts, poles), the temperature range is compatible with human activities, falling in the range between -40° and +40° C (-40° to 104°F).Temperatures tend to be hotter near the equator, or when it is summer at a given location. Ocean and air currents also affect the range of temperatures. Climate change scientists estimate that ever-increasing levels of anthropogenic carbon dioxide could raise global temperatures several degrees C over the next century. 12345678966544 There is no accurate and consistent single temperature of the surface of the Earth.

Where does the sun raise first?
West
What is the definition of Temparture?
The rate of movement of molecules is called temprature.the instrument used to measure the temperature is called thermometer.thermo came from thermal means heat and meter means to measure.there are different kinds of thermometer one is known as Celsius or centigrade in which the water freezes at zero and boils at 100c the another thermometer mainly known as clinical thermometer but actual name is frontier thermometer in which the water freezes at 32 and boils at 212. there are some other thermometers also named rummer and kelvin. heat is another thing it is the form of energy,it is measured in calories the defination of calorie is as under: the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water to 1 degree centigrade is called 1 calorie.it is a lower value of heat normally it is measured in kilo calories.
When does a full moon rise and set?
sun raise
If water weighs 8.34 pounds per gallon how much Btu to raise the temperature of 4 gallon of water from 70 degree Fahrenheit to 72 degree Fahrenheit?
what is the answer to this
What does acronym BTU mean?
British Thermal Unit, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit
What is to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Clntigrade?
Depends on how high you want to raise the gram of water ;).
Is it harder to raise the temperature of a rock than it is to raise the temperature of water?
It is harder to raise the temperature of water than it is to raise the temperature of a rock. It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C, whereas it only takes 0.02 calorie to heat a gram of rock to that temperature.
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is?
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree.
How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 10 pounds from 50 to 70 Fahrenheit?
The answer depends on the unidentified substance whose temperature is to be raised.
What is specific temperature?
Specific temperature is an amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.
How much BTU's are in a 12ounce water?
It takes 1 BTU to raise 1 lb of water per degree Fahrenheit.
How many btu does it take to raise the temperature of 1 gallon of water 1 degree if water was already 50 degrees?
U.S.gallon = 8.33 pounds of water. Therefore to raise the temperature by one degree F will require 8.33 BTU. The initial temperature of 50 F is inconsequential.
How do you calculate time taken to raise the temperature by 10 degree The question is in the answer section?
The question is : A 2000W electric heater supplies energy to 0.5kg copper kettle containing 1kg of water. calculate time taken to raise the temperature by 10 degree
What is the July temperature for tropical rain-forest?
The temperature in any rain forest will hardly ever raise above 93 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is normally a constant 80 degrees.
What is the unit of measure for heat quantity- German-American-British or Swedish Thermal Unit?
The metric unit is the calorie, which is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a gram of pure water one degree Celsius. The standard unit is the British Thermal Unit (BTU), which is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a pound of pure water one degree Fahrenheit.
