Why does flame burns upwards?
The flame burns "up" because it is really the hot gasses that are burning and hot gasses rise because they are less dense.
What is it called when waste gasses from cars trucks and airplanes that rise high into the sky?
exhaust
Why does fire go upward?
Flames are the gasses of combustion, heated to the point of glowing. Hot gasses, being less dense and therefore lighter than cold gasses (surrounding air) rise upward until they are redirected by some solid object.
Why fire does not comes downward?
The heat generated by the fire warms surrounding gasses and they rise, pulling the flame up.
Why does soot particles rise above the fire and make smoke?
The rising hot gasses from the fire drag the particles with them.
Will a helium balloon rise in a house?
If the house is filled with regular air - yes. If it isn't, it'll depend on what gasses there is in the house.
What are some Objects that refract?
Water, gasses. Any other medium that has a different "n" value gives rise to a bending of light.

What causes average global surface temperature to rise and fall from year to year?
because global warming and greenhouse gasses like co2 carbon dioxide.
How does green house rise the sea levels?
Greenhouse gasses melt polar and Antarctic ice, which turns into water, rising the sea level. Hope this helped. :)
Why are greenhouse gases similar to a Greenhouse?
Like in a greenhouse, greenhouse gasses let radiation from the sun reach Earth (the 'inside' of the greenhouse) but won't let the Earth reflect radiation. This is exactly what greenhouses do. Through the glass walls, the sunlight can come in, but once the rays are inside, the heat is trapped. That causes (intentional) temperature rise in the greenhouse. These gasses also (most likely) cause a temperature rise on Earth.
Where are the inert gasses located on the periodic table?
Inert gasses are also called noble gasses. These gasses are unlikely to participate in chemical reactions. Inert gasses are located in the 8th group of the periodic table.Inert gasses are also called noble gasses. These gasses are unlikely to participate in chemical reactions.
