Setting dry ice on fire is not possible because dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO2) and does not burn. Instead, it sublimates directly into gas when exposed to heat, creating a cold fog effect. If you attempt to ignite materials near dry ice, the extreme cold can actually hinder combustion. Always handle dry ice with caution, as it can cause frostbite and should be used in well-ventilated areas.
