A candle burns for a long time when it contains a high concentration of wax, which is the fuel for the flame. Additionally, factors like the size and quality of the wick, as well as the environment in which the candle is burning, can also impact its burn time.

What burns faster a short fat candle or thin long candle and why?

Is it possible to burn the candle at both ends?

Yes. The wick goes all accross the candle. You simply burn the bottom of the candle a little and the wick will stick if the bottom burns enough. So you lay the candle and stick it on a square object and light both ends of the candle.


Will a candle burn longer in inhaled air or exhaled air?

Air contains about 21% oxygen, so the candle in air might only burn 21% as long as a candle in oxygen. Of course, that does not include other variables, like the candle burning in oxygen will burn hotter, melting the candle wax sooner.

What is the candle brand that burns the fastest?

The 'wick' not the wax is what makes one candle burn faster than the other. Most people want long lasting wicks for their candles so get a good quality one if you are making candles. If you are buying candles cheap ones are OK if you burn a fair amount of them. If you want a candle that is fairly large and want it to last so you can relight it then buy a good candle with a good wick. You can tell if the wick is good if it's not frayed at the top and the wick is tightly woven.


Does the size of a candle affect how fast it will burn?

Yes, the size of a candle can affect how fast it burns. A larger candle typically has more wax, so it may burn for a longer period of time than a smaller candle. However, other factors such as the type of wax, wick size, and environmental conditions can also influence the burning rate of a candle.


What is candle clock?

This is a candle, which by experiment, the user knows how fast it burns down. The sides of the candle have marks on it so it can visually tell what time it is. Some could even function as an alarm clock, by placing a nail in the candle, at a certain mark. When the candle burned down to that point, the nail falls out and strikes a metal pan or something to make noise. See this clock history, for more info.
