Will a candle burn in a space ship where everything is weightless?

Very good question. The candle will burn, there have been experiments in space to this effect, the flame reacts to gravity and burns up on earth. In low to no gravity places, the flame makes a more spherical shape; much more efficient incidentally.


When a burning candle is covered with a glass it get extinguished why?

When a burning candle is covered with a glass, the oxygen within the covered space gets depleted as the flame consumes the available oxygen. Without sufficient oxygen, the candle flame is unable to sustain combustion and gets extinguished.


Why does a candle go out when a jar is put over?

A candle goes out when a jar is put over it because the jar restricts the flow of oxygen to the flame. A flame needs oxygen to burn, and when the oxygen supply is limited inside the jar, the flame will eventually suffocate and extinguish.


Why does a lighted candle get extinguished when covered?

A lighted candle gets extinguished when covered because it is deprived of oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. The flame consumes the available oxygen in the enclosed space, and as the oxygen levels drop, the flame eventually can no longer sustain itself and goes out. Additionally, the buildup of carbon dioxide from the burning wick can also contribute to extinguishing the flame.


What shape would a candle flame take on in outer space?

A flame needs oxygen to light. There is no oxygen in outerspace, hence no flame is possible. Wrong!!!! Tsk, tsk. Remember your high school physics? Air, in a sense, moves randomly, due to the fact that atoms are always moving. This principle is called diffusion. Since diffusion is present in most substances, this means that a continual supply of oxidizer will be present. Fires in zero-G burn longer, due to fewer oxygen needs, and diffusion keeps them supplied with oxygen. Correct Answer: ROUND


Can a lighter explode in outer space?

Yes, a lighter can explode in outer space. This is because the flammable material inside the lighter can combust if it comes into contact with a source of ignition, such as a spark or flame, even in the absence of oxygen.


Why do short candle wicks have short flames?

Short candle wicks result in short flames because they have less exposed wick material to fuel the flame. The length of the wick affects the amount of fuel (wax) that can be drawn up to the flame, which impacts its size and burn rate. A shorter wick may create a smaller, weaker flame due to this limited fuel supply.


What is the function of a candle jar?

A candle jar is an item used to hold and display a candle. Candle jars are popular for outdoor use as the candle is less likely to be put out by wind. Candle jars come in a variety of colours and designs and can be purchased from webpage stores such as Amazon.


Why is the flame spherical in space?

In space, flames become spherical due to a lack of gravity to pull the flames upwards. The absence of gravity causes the flame to burn in all directions uniformly, creating a spherical shape. This phenomenon is known as a "cool flame" and is different from flames on Earth, which are affected by gravity.


Would a compass be useful on a spaceship in outer space?

No. A compass is a useful tool on Earth because the needle aligns with Earth's magnetic field and we know the shape of that field. There would be no such field in outer space.


Why does a candle burn for a long time in a jar with no lid on?

When a candle burns in a jar with no lid, it has a limited oxygen supply due to the confined space. This causes the candle to burn more slowly and last longer as it consumes less fuel at a time. The heat generated by the flame also creates a convection current that draws fresh air into the jar, sustaining the flame.


What is a word for a space?
