More accurately, burning candles convert energy from one form to another. The chemical energy available in the wax of the candle is converted, through the chemical reaction of burning, into primarily light and heat.
The Carbon dioxide released from burning candles is dwarfed next to the release due to our societies endemic oil use. Of course, if you care for the environment, you should attempt to minimize any activities that hurt it, but that doesn't mean you have to give up everything that you enjoy doing just because it is energy intensive. Balance is the key - If you like candles, use candles, but perhaps walk to the store one day instead of taking the car. If you were asking about bad chemicals released while burning candles, see [http://www.aboutmyplanet.com/daily-green-tips/burning-question/ this article].
Candles make chemical energy because the fire makes chemical energy!
you use chemical energy by cooking an egg, burning wood, water on wood/metal
The safety rules that we should always remember when burning candles is just that you have to always blow it out and never play around it or else you will cause the fire.
As long as they were all lit at the same time, they would burn for the same amount of time (regardless of the number of candles).

to hold candles -.- To hold and support candles while they are burning so that they don't tip over.
Tobacco use or burning candles can cause this.
-- Candles must be manufactured. You can't just dig them out of the ground in a usable form. -- Coal contains more chemical energy than candles do. You get more energy from burning a pound of coal then you get from burning a pound of candles. -- On the other hand, a power plant that burned candles would operate cleaner than one that burns coal. It might produce just as much carbon dioxide, but I suspect that there might be less sulfur and mercury to worry about.
The eight nights the candles kept burning for the people in the hide out
yes it does
Candles make chemical energy because the fire makes chemical energy!
The conclusion is that white candles burn faster than colored candles due to the absence of additional pigments and dyes in white candles. These additives in colored candles can impact the burning rate and efficiency of the candle.
Before electrical energy, heating and lighting were achieved using fire, candles, oil lamps, and gas lamps. Fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and oil lamps provided heat, while candles and gas lamps were used for lighting.
Light energy is produced by burning candles through a chemical reaction called combustion. When the wax in the candle reacts with oxygen in the air, it releases energy in the form of heat and light. The heat generated melts the wax, which is then drawn up the wick and vaporized. The vaporized wax undergoes further combustion, producing a flame that emits light energy.
Because scented are more thicker and they condence the scented candles more than the unscented. Unscented candled burn SLOWER because they don't have the oils in them that they use to scent them.
