What is a candle stick?

A candle stick is a taper candle. You know, the tall, thin ones. Or it could be fatter, but the point is it is an upright candle that needs to be in a holder - a 'candle stick holder'. We usually just call them "candles" but that is a generic term for any kind, like 'tea lights' and 'pillars' are all candles, and candle 'stick' means this tall, thin type specifically.

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

A long candle because the flame won't melt on the edge so it wont burn that, and the wax in the middle gets too deep and the fire goes out due to lack of oxygen. A long and thin one uses all the wax and since it so thin it burns faster.

Whats the difference string and candle wicks?

String is a generic term for any thin, flexible piece of material, while a candle wick specifically refers to the piece of material that is lit on a candle to create a flame. Candle wicks are typically made from braided cotton or other fibers designed to burn steadily and evenly.


Do thicker candles burns faster than thin candles?

Thicker candles typically burn slower than thin candles due to the larger mass of wax they contain. The thicker candle will have a larger surface area for the heat from the flame to melt the wax, which can slow down the rate at which it burns.


Which candle would burn faster a light green one or a light pink one?

This is an old joke. The answer is "Neither--All candles burn shorter." I'm locking this and moving it to the joke/riddle section. === the long thin pink one. ~Not necessarily, it depends on what type of wax is used, the thickness of the wick, and the amount of wind the candle is exposed to. The green square candle will out burn the other two. The long pink candle will burn the fastest. The green square candle. If you think about it, it all depends on the height of the green square candle, exactly how thin the long thin pink candle is, the length of the long thin pink candle, how fat the short fat red candle is, how square the green square candle is, and the time of the year. It also depends on the stuff that the person who put a ~ before their answer said.
