A candle will burn faster at room temp. Candels burn by means of the wick effect. The energy from the flam heats the wax beneath the wick ( by way of convection threw the wick and by luminescent radiation , causing it to melt then asend threw the wick, ( eventually having enough heat to evaporate buy the time it reaches the top of the wick) It then burns as a vapor when mixed with oxgene much like gasoline, the melting and vaporisation points vary depending on the type of wax used, but ultimitly the warmer the candel to begin with the faster it will burn.
PS, I am sorry if my grammer isn't very good.....I am french :) PPS. I am not a scientist, just a scientist in training... AND a Pyro, so i base on both science and personal experience
What else can I help you with?
Do all candles burn at the same rate?
No, candles do not all burn at the same rate. Factors such as the size of the wick, type of wax, and presence of additives can affect how quickly a candle burns. Additionally, candles with multiple wicks or uneven surfaces may burn at different rates.
Do white candles burn faster than colored ones?
The rate at which a candle burns is dependent on the size and composition of the wick, and the thickness, composition, and melting / vaporization rate of the candle wax. The composition of the candle is far more important to the burn rate than the color.
What do candles have in them when they melt?
Candles are typically made of wax, such as paraffin or beeswax. When candles melt, the wax itself is what is liquifying. Some candles may also contain fragrances or dyes that may be released as the candle melts.
Does the fuel burn slowly?
The burning of fuel can vary based on the type of fuel and the conditions in which it is burned. However, some fuels like diesel and coal tend to burn more slowly compared to gasoline, which typically burns more quickly.
What are black candles made of?
Black candles are typically made from paraffin wax or beeswax, just like candles of other colors. The black pigment is added to the wax during the manufacturing process to give the candles their dark color. Some black candles are also infused with essential oils or other scents for fragrance.
Do all candles burn at the same rate?
No, candles do not all burn at the same rate. Factors such as the size of the wick, type of wax, and presence of additives can affect how quickly a candle burns. Additionally, candles with multiple wicks or uneven surfaces may burn at different rates.
What experiment can you use to prove if colored candles burn the fastest?
burn some candles and time it...lol!
Why do candles burn at different rates?
The type of wax is going to dictate the burning rate of a candle, as will the diameter of the candle. A large diameter candle will burn its length more slowly than a small diameter one. Think how fast birthday cake candles burn down.
What are some Hanukkah CANDLES?
any candles can be hanukkah candles, as long as they fit in the Chanukiah (Hanukkah menorah) and burn at least 1/2 hour.
Why are some candles referred to as votives?
Votive candles are placed, and allowed to burn, in sacred places as part of religious rituals.
Why does the color impact on the burn time of candles?
The color impacts the burn time of candles because darker colors tend to absorb more heat, which can result in faster burning. Additionally, some colored dyes and pigments used in candles can affect the composition of the wax, potentially altering the burn rate.
What are some reasons candles burn unevenly?
Usually a slight draught from one side.
What is the conclusion for do white candles burn at a different rate then colored candles?
White canldes will probably burn at a different rate than colored candles for the simple reason that in order to get different colors, candles will have different compositions - you have to put different dyes (or other color source) into candles to make some of them green, some of them blue, some of them orange, etc. etc. etc. With that said, most of the time if all you have done is add a little bit of color to the wax, it won't affect the burn rate very much. Also keep in mind that even if you do change the burn rate, you would have to know what you used to make the color in order to determine if the burn rate increased or decreased. Burn rate depends on composition. Color depends on composition. Burn rate is only indirectly related to color.
What should you do with used menorah candles?
Candles on a menorah are never to be blown out, we're required to let them burn down completely. If for some reason one has to blow out the candles, they cannot be re-used, at least not for ritual purpose and not in a menorah.Answer:The above answer is completely mistaken. The candles may be blown out after they've been lit for one-half hour. And their remainder may be lit the following night if they're big enough to burn for at least one-half hour. (Source: Code of Jewish Law.)
Did Muslims burn down house?
in some point in time some muslim probaly did burn a house down.
Can Hanukkah candles be reused or do they have to burn all the way down?
They should be allowed to burn for at least one-half hour during and/or after twilight. What is left after that may be extinguished and reused. Some halakhic (Torah-law) authorities prefer putting new candles (or oil wicks) each night. Others write that reusing the used ones has an advantage in that they're easier to light.
Why does the color of candles affect how they burn?
The color does not specifically affect how they burn. What DOES impact it is the composition of the candle. Incidental to candles having different compositions is that they may be of different colors - but the difference in they way they burn is not because of the color, it is because of what they are made of.
