Yes. My 7 year old did this as a science experiment. He used 3 pilliar candles, left one on the counter, put one in the fridge, and one in the freezer - all for 24 hrs. He then lit them and let them burn for 3 hours, checking every 30min. At the end of the 3 hours, the one left on the counter was burned down a lot, the one in the fridg, not as far and the one from the freezer was hardly melted at all.

∙ 14y agoIf it is cold, the air may cause the wick to freeze and prevent it from burning, or slow down the burning process. If it is hot, The wax will burn more easily and increase the flow of the fire.

∙ 14y agoyes, cold temperature causes the wick to freeze which in turn makes it harder for the wick and wax to burn.

∙ 13y agono. candles don't need different temperatures to burn, and they don't burn any better either way.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo, the temperature of the room has no effect on the burning rate of the candle. It all depends on the size of the candle.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes. Candles are found to burn much shorter in extremely windy or
rainy weather, particularly those that are set outside to burn.

Can the heat of the sun melt a candle?
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.
What are five factors that affect how fast weathering happens?
1. Elevation 2. Slope 3. Living things 4. Temperature 5. Moisture
Does temperature affect how fast ice melts?
Type your answer here... yes,because the rate constant for the same reaction changes with temperature.
What does temperature measure?
Temperature measures how fast molecules are moving or in scientific terms it measures the AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY in a system. Temperature measures how fast molecules are moving. :):)
Is melting of ice is a fast change or slow change?
That depends on the ambient temperature.
Does the size of a candle affect how fast it will burn?
just do the experiment... but i think so.
Does the temperature of a room affect how fast a candle melts?
The room temperature is too low for an effect.
Why does a candle burn faster outside then inside?
If it is warm outside, like in spring or summer, then it will burn faster because the environmental temperature is warmer, causing the candle to melt. When a candle is burned inside, it will not burn as fast because there is no extra push in melting it.
Does temperature in room affect how fast a candle burns?
Yes it does i did a science fair project and yep it did
How fast does a candle burn?
It depends on what kind of wax that the candle is made out of
Does the container of a candle affect how fast it burns?
no
What is the reason for a yellow candle to burn faster than a colored candle'?
actually the color does not effect how fast the candle burn, i got confused of " Does candle's color effect how candle's burn?"but i think the color does not effect how candle burns. But some people will think that the white or yello candle will burn slower because color will obsorb the heat more. Hope i have answered your question.
How fast can a candle burn if it is lit?
There is no way to tell unless you know the size of the candle, the exact makeup and proportions, the environment surrounding the candle etc.
Does the color of the candle affect how fast it burns?
Yes the colour does affect how fast it burns!The color of the candle does affect how long it burns because the heat is produced to darker colors then lighterbut it does not if its a all different colors
How does the shape of a candle affect how fast it burns?
The shape of a candle affects how fast it burns because if you have a round candle it would be shorter than a cylinder. The smaller the shape the faster it burns.
How does oxygen Affect how fast a candle will burn?
when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light. If you give the candle more oxygen then it will burn brighter, but it will burn out more quickly. It all depends whether the candle has a high or low concentration of oxygen. The main reason why the candle burns brighter is because there is a better chance that the oxygen will bump into the wax on the wick. when a candle burns, the wax is reacting with oxygen in the air to give out heat and light.

Why do candles burn at different rates?
The type of wax is going to dictate the burning rate of a candle, as will the diameter of the candle. A large diameter candle will burn its length more slowly than a small diameter one. Think how fast birthday cake candles burn down.
