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.

Can snow melt at 30 degrees F?

Yes, snow can melt at 30 degrees Fahrenheit if there is sufficient sunlight or warmth to raise the temperature above freezing. Snow can melt when the ambient temperature is at or slightly above freezing as long as the snow is exposed to heat sources like the sun.


The rock cycle is driven internally by heat from?

The rock cycle is driven internally by heat from Earth's mantle and core. This heat causes rocks to melt, solidify, and undergo metamorphism, leading to the formation of different rock types.


How does ice cubes melt in the sun?

The sun can melt ice by it's radiation waves. The sun gives of heat and makes a radius. Radiation is different from conduction and convection because it doesn't need particles to pass through, it only needs space. The radiation waves pass through the earths atmosphere and travel down to earth, for proof we can feel the warmth ourselves (Not the temperature of the sun though). The heat waves warm up the ice and and the particles begin to become active and move further apart, forming the liquid water. If the heat waves temperature rises then the liquids will as well and the particles of the liquid (water) will become even more active and move more apart, evaporates and forming gas. The molecules are still attracted to one another.


What name is given to a process such as burning a candle?

The process of burning a candle is called combustion, which is a chemical reaction involving oxygen that produces heat and light. During combustion, the wax in the candle combines with oxygen in the air to release carbon dioxide and water vapor along with heat and light.


In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?

The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the lower part of the Earth's mantle, known as the asthenosphere. This is where the temperature and pressure conditions allow for rocks to melt and form magma.

Does ice cream melt in the sun or in heat?

yes! that's why when you light the candle it melt because of heat that surrounds in it!


Will candles melt outside in the sun?

A regular indoors candle will. Best to use tea lights or another contained candle so that it doesn't melt all over. I've been looking all over for candles that will resist sun light, but so far no luck.


Can boiling water melt candle wax?

Yes, boiling water can melt candle wax. The heat from the boiling water will transfer to the candle wax and cause it to melt.


A candle is lit The heat of the flame will melt the candle because?

the heat of the hot flame is transferred to the colder candle hey brookie bee i hope this helps i got it from study island good luck :)


Will candle wax melt when its heated?

Yes, candle wax will melt when heated because it has a low melting point. The heat causes the solid wax to turn into a liquid form that can then be used to create a candle's flame.


Why does candle wax evaporate when the candle is burning?

Candle wax evaporates when the candle is burning because the heat from the flame causes the wax to melt and turn into a gas, which then evaporates into the air.

How many seconds do you microwave a candle for it to melt?

It is not safe to microwave a candle. Microwaving candles can cause them to catch fire or explode due to the heat. It is recommended to melt candles using a double boiler or a candle warmer.


Do white candles burn fastest?

No, yellow candle burn the fastest because of the heat reflecting off the surface of a candle and it helps yellow candle to melt faster


How do you melt a pencil eraser with heat?

To melt a pencil eraser with heat, you can use a heat source such as a lighter or a candle to apply direct heat to the eraser until it softens and begins to melt. Be cautious when using heat to avoid burning the eraser or causing any harm to yourself.


Can a candle melt when its left in sunlight?

No if the candle not lit it probably won't melt


Can you recycle candle wax?
