Will a candle burn in a space ship where everything is weightless?
Very good question. The candle will burn, there have been experiments in space to this effect, the flame reacts to gravity and burns up on earth. In low to no gravity places, the flame makes a more spherical shape; much more efficient incidentally.
What kind of candle burns the fastest?
the one with the thickest wick.The flame from the candle melts the fuel (beeswax, tallow, cocoa butter, paraffin, or other hard waxy fat substance) which is then drawn up the candle wick and fed to the flame. The thicker the wick, the more fuel can be fed to the flame, making the flame bigger and hotter and using up the candle faster.
What happens to a candle in a spacecraft?
In a spacecraft, a candle flame burns in a more rounded shape due to lack of gravity pulling the flame upward. The lack of convection causes the flame's heat to be trapped near the candle, making it burn more slowly and with less flickering. Additionally, the candle produces more soot in microgravity as combustion is less efficient.

How does a candle burn in the air?
