A candle is covered with a flask and the flame goes out why?

When the candle flame is covered with a flask, it creates a closed system where the oxygen supply is limited. The flame requires oxygen to sustain combustion, so when the available oxygen is used up, the flame goes out. The process is known as oxygen depletion, and it happens when the flammable material (wax) fails to receive sufficient oxygen to continue burning.

Havdallah marks the end of Sabbath or a festival. It consists of making a blessing over the cup of wine, a blessing over spices, a blessing over the flame of a multi-wicked candle (or two candles brought together), and a blessing marking the end of the day.
