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.

What shape would a candle flame be in outer space?

In microgravity, a candle flame would form a spherical shape due to the absence of gravity. The flame would seek to distribute heat evenly in all directions, resulting in a rounded appearance.


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.

Why flame upwards in candle?

The flame goes up from a candle due to the buoyancy effects of the hot gases in the flame. Interestingly when experiments are run in microgravity (like on the ISS), a flame will just be spherical with no particular orientation since there is not enough gravity to make any buoyancy manifest.

What is the meaning of spherical triangle?

Spherical trigonometry is a branch of spherical geometry, which deals with polygons (especially triangles) on the sphere and the relationships between the sides and the angles. This is of great importance for calculations in astronomy and earth-surface and orbital and space navigation.


Which subshell letter corresponds to a spherical orbital?

The subshell letter "s" corresponds to a spherical orbital. Spherical orbitals have a symmetrical shape that is centered around the nucleus of an atom, with no distinct orientation in space.


What is the metric in spherical coordinates?

The metric in spherical coordinates is a mathematical formula that describes the distance between points in a three-dimensional space using the radial distance, azimuthal angle, and polar angle. It is used to calculate distances and areas in spherical geometry.
