Methane gas is highly flammable which makes it a good fuel source for gas burning.
you don't
Burning release heat, the molecular structure of methane is destroyed and the bonding energy is released.
Ch4+ 2o2 ---> 2h2o + co2
Pluto's interior is made up of nitrogen, carbon monoxide ,and methane.
If you mean is burning methane comparatively better than releasing it into the atmosphere, then yes it is. Methane is a greenhouse gas, twenty-one times more powerful than carbon dioxide. If methane is released into the atmosphere it works as a greenhouse gas. If it is burnt, it released carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide is also a greenhouse gas, but it is not as powerful as methane. So burning methane is good for the environment.
We can stop burning methane. Actually burning methane is better than letting it escape into the atmosphere. Methane, when burnt, emits carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, but methane, when released into the air, is twenty-one times more dangerous.
Burning methane is a chemical change, as is burning anything as you are changing one set of substance into a completely different set.
When burning magnesium the light shines much brighter... so much to the point where it can blind your eyes if you look directly at it while burning... on the other hand methane can be observed while being lit and it wont mess up your sight in other words it is NOT nearly as bright!

By burning it (reacting it with Oxygen)
After burning methane (CH4) into Oxygen (O2) you are left with Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Dihydrogen Oxide (H20).
Methane plus oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.
They kind of look like Morseerians (due to their methane-breathing traits).
you don't
methane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water 2 Methane molecules plus 4 Oxygen molecules gives 2 molecules of Carbon dioxide plus 4 Water molecules.
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
