The wax and the wick burn, but not completely, the unburnt part being mainly carbon n the form of very small particles. These are quite hot and glow white, yellow, and red, and are resonsible for the 'flame' and its colour. After the particles leave the immediate area of the flame they cool down and don't glow any more. They are now the smoke.

Why is there still smoke coming out a candle after it is gone out?

When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.

Why does a candle smoke when it's blown out but not while it's burning?

you may not see it but once you blow out the candle, small embers are still inside the wick of the candle and burning. because the embers are so small thriving off the air particles thus creating the smoke you see.Additional answerIt does smoke while burning, if you look closely enough. In fact, if you put a piece of glass or tin above the flame it will become blackened with smoke particles (carbon).


Why does the candle relight when you put burning match near the smoke?

The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.
