The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.

Can matches relight after you have blown them out?

No, matches cannot relight after being blown out. When you blow out a match, you are extinguishing the flame by removing the heat source necessary for combustion. The match head has already undergone a chemical reaction to produce the flame, so relighting it without a new heat source is not possible.

It is five.It said there is 8 candles to begin with.Then it said it four were blown out so that would be four still lit.Then it said the window blew out 1. So if you put all that together you get three candles still burning.8-4-1=3So three candles were still lit.In the morning, those three candles will have melted and no longer count as candles, leaving the unlit and whole candles left.8-3=5So 5 candles are left.


What should you do with used menorah candles?

Candles on a menorah are never to be blown out, we're required to let them burn down completely. If for some reason one has to blow out the candles, they cannot be re-used, at least not for ritual purpose and not in a menorah.Answer:The above answer is completely mistaken. The candles may be blown out after they've been lit for one-half hour. And their remainder may be lit the following night if they're big enough to burn for at least one-half hour.
