Embers rise up primarily due to convection, a process where hot air and gases expand and become less dense than the cooler air surrounding them. When wood or other materials burn, they produce heat, which causes the air above the fire to warm up and rise. This upward movement of hot air carries the glowing embers with it, allowing them to travel upward and potentially ignite new materials in their path. Additionally, the small size and light weight of embers facilitate their ascent into the air.
