That depends on the density, cross-sectional area, and chemical composition
of the candle, and on the turbulence in the air surrounding it.

Which color candle burns the slowest?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor in candle burning rates.
What is the hypothesis of do white candles and colored candles burn at the same rate?
White or colored candles may burn at the same rate, or at different rates. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax.
What effect does color have on candle burning?
I'm sure it is true that different coloring agents have different degrees of flamability, but the effect would be too small to detect, since they are present in only trace amounts. Most candles are made almost entirely of parrafin and burn at the same rate - with some variation based on the size of the wick.
What is the conversion rate of inches to cms?
One inch is 25.4 millimeters. One centimeter is 10 millimeters. One inch is 2.54 centimeters.
What color candles burn faster?
It always depends on the size and shape of the candle. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the predominant factor.Other observations* It's not the color of the candle, but the wick. If the wick is cheap the candle won't burn correctly or will burn out shortly after you light it. If the wick is of good quality, it will burn down the center of the candle without once going out.* Candles that are plain (white) may burn faster because they don't contain as many chemicals in the wax.* There is a good reason why one candle burns faster than another... because it takes less time to vaporize the wax.* The color would only make a difference in that respect if a significant amount of the heat (imparted on the wax) came from the flame's infrared radiation. Because the wax is used up by being heated by the flame (and eventually being melted, vaporized, and then combusted), the composition of the wax and wick will have more consequence than how much light energy the wax absorbs or reflects.
The rate at which a candle burns in millimeters per minute is?
That depends on the density, cross-sectional area, and chemical composition of the candle, and on the turbulence in the air surrounding it.
What burns fastest a thick fat candle or a thiner candle?
The thickness of the wick mostly determines the burn rate. The rate, as used above, is the speed with which the candle wax is consumed, not the rate that the candle burns downward.
How does the color of a candle affect the rate at which it burns?
YES
Do thicker candles burns faster than thin candles?
The thickness of the wick mostly determines the burn rate. The rate, as used above, is the speed with which the candle wax is consumed, not the rate that the candle burns downward
Does a white candle burn at the same rate as a colored candle?
The coloring is usually just on the outside of a lipid candle, the whick burns in a modern candle, if its an old oil candle, it might have color that burns due to its chemicals.
How do you find the rate at which a candle burns?
you experiment with different types of candles
What are time candles?
A time candle is a candle that burns at rate that when it burns past a certain mark the people that are using it know how long it takes for the candle to reach that mark. So a twenty second time candle will only burn for twenty seconds. Hunch1000
What affects the rate which a candle burns?
the darker the color the more faster the candles burn.
Which color candle burns the slowest?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor in candle burning rates.
Do colored candles burn at the same rate as white candles?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. Color is not the dominant factor. Wind and temperature will also affect the rate of burning.
What causes colored candles to burn faster than white candles?
White or colored candles may burn at the same rate or at different rates. The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax.
What is regular candle?
There are so many types of candles. When you say a regular candle, it has to be the most common form of candles. It could be a uncolored paraffin taper candle. That is the most common type of candle. When the paraffin is not colored it is slightly yellowish. A colored candle burns in a different rate depending on the color used.
