because, when the wax is lit it burns off as a vapor, when the candle was extinguished the wax vapor was still in the air, and the wax acts as fuel for the flame of a candle, so the flame combusted and lit the vapor, leading back to the candle wick.
When you relight a candle from the smoke, it is because the smoke contains unburned carbon particles that can reignite when exposed to a flame.
The smoke released when a candle is extinguished is primarily composed of unburned hydrocarbons and soot particles. These particles are the byproducts of incomplete combustion of the candle wax and wick materials.
Relighting candles work by using a special chemical coating on the wick that can reignite after being blown out. This coating allows the candle to continue burning even after the flame has been extinguished.
A wisp of smoke curled in the air, carrying a burnt smell.
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.
Yes, it is important to watch for reignition as smoldering embers or hot spots can flare up into flames again. Monitoring for any signs of smoke, heat, or rekindling ensures the fire is fully extinguished to prevent a potential re-ignition.
When a burning candle is covered with a glass, the oxygen within the covered space gets depleted as the flame consumes the available oxygen. Without sufficient oxygen, the candle flame is unable to sustain combustion and gets extinguished.
A candle when it burns lets out smoke.
When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.
A red candle, or a candle with a red glass cover, called the "presence candle" is used in the sanctuary to represent the presence of the Holy Spirit, it is usually never extinguished.
Candle Smoke - 1998 was released on: USA: September 1998
Fire needs oxygen to burn and when the tumbler covers the fire it uses up all the oxygen in the little space quickly and is extinguished.
