It doesn't need to be
The flame on a Bunsen burner should be blue when not in use. If the flame is yellow, it may indicate a problem with the burner, such as not enough air mixing with the gas, which can be a safety hazard.
You should not use a Bunsen burner inside a lab when there are flammable materials nearby that could ignite or if there is poor ventilation that could lead to a buildup of fumes. Additionally, if the lab does not have proper safety equipment in place, it is not advisable to use a Bunsen burner.
The Bunsen burner should be left on a low flame to prevent accidents. It should be adjusted based on the specific experiment being conducted to ensure the desired heat level is maintained.
A lit Bunsen burner should never be near alcohol because alcohol is flammable and highly combustible. If the alcohol were to accidentally catch fire from the Bunsen burner, it could cause a dangerous and uncontrollable fire. It is important to always follow proper safety protocols and keep flammable substances away from open flames.
The fire brick used for insulating conversion gas burners should have a minimum rating of 2300°F (1260°C) to withstand the high temperatures typical in gas burner applications. This high-temperature fire brick can effectively help to contain and reflect heat, improving the efficiency and safety of the burner.
WHO is teaching you to light Bunsen burners with matchsticks? That is so unsafe and wrong. You can get burned really easily like that, and Bunsen burner burns are always bad. Go to a hardware store and spend $5 on a spark lighter, like welders use to light their torches. Those are a safe way to light your burner.
You should light a Bunsen burner from the side because it allows you to control the gas flow and the flame size more easily. Lighting it from the top can be dangerous as it may cause a flashback, where the flame travels back into the gas tube.
After a tsunami or other natural disaster there may be broken gas lines. Lighting a match near one may cause and explosion.
because of the gravity of the sun
there should be a knob on the bottom, make sure that it is loose, turn the top of the burner like you are unscrewing it, then turn the gas on, use a striker or fire starter to light it over the top, you should hear the gas moving through it before lighting it
Closing the airhole when lighting the Bunsen burner helps create a fuel-rich environment, allowing for easier ignition. As the flame stabilizes, the airhole can then be adjusted to control the type of flame produced.
Matchstick blinds are a good option. It really just depends on your preference, style, house setting, and look you are going for. I do think they would be good for your home.
You have to relight the Bunsen Burner every time you use it.

When using a Bunsen burner, ensure there is proper ventilation to prevent the build-up of potentially dangerous gases like carbon monoxide. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles to protect your eyes from potential splashes or sparks. Always place the burner on a heat-resistant surface and never leave it unattended when in use. Follow proper lighting and extinguishing procedures to avoid accidents.
bunsun (burner) :P
This is not a very well worded question. What do you mean by why should it be used? I Bunsen burner is used for heating things, usually in a lab setting.
