Why does a candle melt slowly?

Answer 1

Before the wax can turn liquid, it has to be heated to a certain tempurature, which is called it's melting point. The warmer the candle is to begin with, the faster it will melt, and therefore, the colder it is to begin with, the slower it will melt.

Answer 2

a small wick which will make a small flame will make a candle burn more slowly thus letting less smell into the air.

Answer 5

A candle melts easliy because of its makeup and the heat added to the wick of the candle, melts the wax because the bottom of the flame is blue and therefore the hottest part of the flame.
