The high temperature of a candle involves relatively little mass and hence, relatively few very fast moving particles. A bowl of warm water has tremendously more warm, and hence moderately fast moving particles. The difference in the number of particles (or molecules) in this case outweighs the difference in the speed with which they are moving.

∙ 13y agoThe fire on the candle is a concentrated heat which tends to get extremely hot to where you can badly burn your finger on it. A hot day, however, does not even come close to this temperature, seeing as though you do not get third degree burns on a hot day as you would if you put your finger over a candle fire.

Why does snow melt at below freezing temperatures?
This is due too electromagnetic wave mainly UV waves from the sun hit the top layer of the snow which causes the molecules too move rapidly causing a energy transformation to thermal energy. even on a cloudy day UV rays still can penetrate the atmosphere.

the cause to this is the radiation and the heat that comes from the sun
Can you recycle candle wax?
