When a glass jar is placed over a lighted candle why the flame goes off?

When a glass jar is placed over a lighted candle, the flame eventually goes out due to a lack of oxygen. The candle burns oxygen to sustain the flame, and as the jar seals it off, the available oxygen inside the jar is consumed. Without sufficient oxygen, the combustion process cannot continue, leading to the extinguishing of the flame. Additionally, the heat from the flame warms the air inside the jar, causing it to expand and create a slight vacuum, further limiting oxygen supply.


Why is it hotter if you put your hand above a lighted candle than at the sides if the candle's flame?

When you place your hand above the lighted candle, you are closer to the source of heat, which is the flame. The heat rises vertically from the flame and directly impacts your hand when placed above it. On the other hand, when your hand is at the sides of the candle, you are farther away from the direct source of heat, so you feel less heat.


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 will happen if you put a jar over a burning candle?
