Why does a lighted candle get extinguished when covered?

A lighted candle gets extinguished when covered because it is deprived of oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. The flame consumes the available oxygen in the enclosed space, and as the oxygen levels drop, the flame eventually can no longer sustain itself and goes out. Additionally, the buildup of carbon dioxide from the burning wick can also contribute to extinguishing the flame.


Which gas puts out a burning taper with a pop?
