Depending on the wax, and the concentrations of water of oxygen in the air, somewhere between 1,200 degrees and 1,700 degrees Celsius.
The heat capacity and conductivity of air and the exhaust products of combustion, however, are both very low. In practice, candle flames do not seem very hot (much like metal feels colder than wood at room temperature, though they are the same temperature).
The outer core of the candle flame is light blue -- 1670 K (1400 °C). That is the hottest part of the flame. The color inside the flame becomes yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be. The red portion is around 1070 K (800 °C). The reason there is this variation in a candle's flame color is because air convection pulls the warmer gasses upwards.

Why is a Bunsen burner better than using a candle or a fire?
Bunsen burners are preferred over candles or fires because the Bunsen burner produces a much higher temperature (noted by the blue flame) and it is much easier to contain/control a Bunsen Burner flame.
Why is middle zone of the candle called luminous zone?
partial combustion takes place here and wax vapour start burning with a yellowwish flame . this region of candle flame is moderately hot. so it is called as the luminous zone
Does the blue flame on a Bunsen burner need the air hole open or shut?
It needs to be open to create the hot, blue flame that roars. If the air hole is shut, the flame will burn yellow, similar to a candle.
How do you increase the temperature of a yellow flame coming out of a busen burner?
You can't it is always the same. You only use the blue flame to heat things because the yellow flame is the safety flame and the blue flame is hotter.
What can be observed if the gas control valve on a Bunsen burner is slightly closed?
Less air enters the tube and the flame burns less fierce and appears more like the yellowish flame on a candle.
Does the temperature of a candle jar inhibit growth of psychrotrophs What is the average temperature inside candle jar and how long does it take flame to burn out?
The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Can you use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
No The temperature of the candle flame is out of the temperature range of the clinical thermometer.
How does the color of the flame relate to the temperature the candle or a gas stove?
The color of the flame depends upon temperature. Please see this link.
Why can you not use a clinical thermometer to measure the temperature of a candle flame?
We cannot use a clinical thermometer to measure temperature of a candle flame because then the mercury will expand too much and the thermometer will explode.
Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?
Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.
Does a burning candle maintain homeostasis?
yes, because if the external temperature changes to a cooler temperature, the lit candle flame gets smaller.
How hot does an average candle burn?
A candle flame burns at about 1000o C (1800o F)
Why are there several colours in a candle flame?
The color in the candle flame shows the fuel used. It also shows temperature. The colder part of the flame is red and the closer the color is to white is the hottest. The blue color comes from the soot of the wick.
Is candle flame a source of light?
The flame of a candle is a source of light.
Why is a candle flame seen?
