The 'wick' not the wax is what makes one candle burn faster than the other. Most people want long lasting wicks for their candles so get a good quality one if you are making candles. If you are buying candles cheap ones are OK if you burn a fair amount of them. If you want a candle that is fairly large and want it to last so you can relight it then buy a good candle with a good wick. You can tell if the wick is good if it's not frayed at the top and the wick is tightly woven.

How does a candle clock work?

A candle clock consists of markings along the length of a candle, with each marking representing a specific unit of time. As the candle burns, the wax melts and the flame moves down the candle. When the flame reaches a specific marking, it indicates that amount of time has passed. The rate at which the candle burns can be used to estimate the passage of time.

Do 3 observation to a candle?

The flame of the candle flickers and dances, demonstrating the movement of air currents in the surrounding environment. As the candle burns, the wax around the wick melts and creates a pool of liquid wax that cools and solidifies as it moves away from the flame. The candle emits light and heat as it burns due to the combustion of the wax and wick, providing illumination and warmth in its immediate vicinity.


Is it possible to burn the candle at both ends?

Yes. The wick goes all accross the candle. You simply burn the bottom of the candle a little and the wick will stick if the bottom burns enough. So you lay the candle and stick it on a square object and light both ends of the candle.


What are the tools used in observing the burning candle?

Some tools used in observing a burning candle include a lighter or matches to ignite the candle, a ruler or measuring tool to gauge the height of the candle as it burns, a stopwatch or timer to track the burning time, and a magnifying glass to observe the flame in greater detail.
