The lighted candle burns wax for fuel. The heat from the flame melts the nearby wax, and it is drawn to the flame through the wick. The wick is slowly consumed by the flame, but the wax is the main fuel.

What kind of energy are given out by a candle?

Candles give off thermal energy in the form of heat and light energy in the form of a flame. The primary source of energy in a candle is chemical potential energy stored in the wax, which is released through combustion when the candle is burned.


How come you can see the stars?

Stars give out light energy, that is they are luminous. Thus we see them for the same reason we see a lighted torch bulb.


Where does a candle get its power to give off heat and light?

A candle gets its power to give off heat and light from the chemical reaction that occurs when the candle wax (usually made of hydrocarbons) is burned. The heat generated from the flame melts the wax, which then vaporizes and combusts with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light energy.


How much heat does a candle give off when it burns?

When a candle burns, it gives off heat energy in the form of light and heat. The amount of heat produced by a candle can vary depending on factors such as the size of the candle and the type of wax used. Generally, a candle can produce around 80-100 watts of heat energy while burning.

Why does a candle give off little heat?

Candles give off little heat because most of the energy produced from the flame is emitted as light instead of heat. The relatively small size of a candle flame means that the amount of heat generated is minimal compared to other heat sources.


Does the burning of a candle give off or absorb heat?

The burning of a candle gives off heat. This is because the chemical reaction of the wax with oxygen releases energy in the form of heat and light.
