the flame uses oxygen and if you cover it, the candle will burn all the oxygen and will go out because it ran out of fuel

Why is it that when you blow a candle its light goes off but when you blow a fire its light come on?

Oxygen feeds fire, but for a candle, it is too small to withstand the pressure of a good blow, and the fire is easily blown out in the wick, where the core of the fire is. In a bigger fire though, like a campfire, it is too big for a human to blow it out, and so the oxygen feeds it, and makes it glow brighter temporarily.
