Candle flames appear to us to be brighter because we typically view them from a few feet away, while even the closest stars beyond our sun are trillions of miles.
Up close, however, the smallest star outshines any candle by many orders of magnitude.

What happened to the flame when you slowly opened the air holes?
As more air enters the Bunsen Burner, the flame turns from a flickering (wax candle effect) yellow to a fierce sounding blue, much hotter, flame.
What kind of candle burns the fastest?
the one with the thickest wick.The flame from the candle melts the fuel (beeswax, tallow, cocoa butter, paraffin, or other hard waxy fat substance) which is then drawn up the candle wick and fed to the flame. The thicker the wick, the more fuel can be fed to the flame, making the flame bigger and hotter and using up the candle faster.
