A long candle because the flame won't melt on the edge so it wont burn that, and the wax in the middle gets too deep and the fire goes out due to lack of oxygen. A long and thin one uses all the wax and since it so thin it burns faster.

Does size and shape affect how candles burn if the candles have the same amount of wax?

The shape and angle of candle will effect how long a candle burns because when a candles reaches the middle of glass jar candle, the lack of oxygen to feed the fire causes it to go out.


What happens to the wax as the mass of the candle gets less?

Just like logs on a campfire or oil in an old-fashioned lamp, wax in a candle is actually fuel for the flame itself. The candle continues burning as long as there is wax to be melted & soaked into the wick. As it burns, the wax oxidizes into water vapor, CO2, and, of course, light. Wax continues to melt around the flame and soak up the wick to be used as fuel, causing the candle appear to "disappear" as we watch it burn.


What is a votive candle and how is it different to a normal candle?

A votive isn't necessarily 'different' than a typical candle, it is simply the name of a specific 'type' of candle. The long, thin candles that are generally 10 inches (or so) long that start out a little thicker on the bottom then get a little thinner on top are called "tapers." The short stubby ones that are around 2 inches high and almost as wide are called "votives." There are also taller, wider candles that may be any height that are very thick around; those are called "columns." The tiny (about 1/2-an-inch high), short, flat ones whose wax is inside of circular metal 'tins' and are generally used in decorative glass lamps and even to heat small fondues, are called "tea lights." I'm sure you've seen candles that are generally thinner than one's pinky finger and about as short--those are "birthday candles!" So, "votives" are just one of many shapes/dimensions of candle that are made. Manufacturers of candle-centric items often specify the type and/or size of candle that is recommended. With its compact size, votives are a popular choice.


What is a liquid candle made of?

A liquid candle is made of a liquid fuel, such as paraffin oil or liquid paraffin wax, that is stored inside a container with a wick to facilitate burning. When the wick is lit, the liquid fuel vaporizes and burns, creating a flame. Liquid candles are popular for decorative and ambiance purposes due to their clean burn and long-lasting nature.


Do white candles burn faster than colored candles project materials?

The color of a candle typically does not affect its burn rate. The speed of a candle's burn is mainly determined by factors like the type of wax, wick size, and environmental conditions. In a controlled experiment, you can test and measure how long it takes for different colored candles to burn to see if there are any noticeable differences.
