Heat is transmitted through conduction (touch), convection (flowing) and radiation (rays).
When you hold your hand beside a flame the radiated heat will reach you (it radiates out in all directions like the light), but not much of the convected heat, because convected heat flow is upwards (most things expand as they heat up, so they get lighter and rise), and you will not get heat from conduction unless a burning spark flies out and touches you and conducts the heat directly.
With your hand above the flame you are receiving heat from radiation and convection.
With your hand in the flame you would get heat from radiation and convection and conduction.
The hottest part of a flame is the position where most intense combustion is occurring. If you look at a flame there is usually a small more transparent area near the base of the flame. The boundary between this and the bright area above at the centre of the flame is the hottest area. (This is why when using a gas welder you focus this part of the flame on the metal area to be welded.)

Why does it feel hot when you put your hand above a burnings candle?
The heat from the burning candle causes the air around it to warm up. When you place your hand above the flame, you are feeling the heat radiating from the flame onto your hand. This sensation is your skin detecting the higher temperature of the air near the flame.
Why if your hand is held high above a burning candle does it feel heat?
Even though heat rises due to convection, the energy from the flame travels in all directions and can reach your hand even when it is held above the candle. The heat radiates outward from the flame, which is why you can feel the warmth even if your hand is not directly above the flame.
What happens to your hand when you place it above a lighted candle?

Why if your hand is held near to the side of a flame does the front of your hand feel heat?
The heat from the flame travels through the air as infrared radiation and warms the front of your hand that is nearby. The closer your hand is to the flame, the more heat it will feel due to the transfer of thermal energy.
How should one position their hand in relation to their heart to promote better circulation and reduce swelling: elevate hand above heart?

Why is it hotter if you put your hand above a lighted candle than at the sides if the candle's flame?
When you place your hand above the lighted candle, you are closer to the source of heat, which is the flame. The heat rises vertically from the flame and directly impacts your hand when placed above it. On the other hand, when your hand is at the sides of the candle, you are farther away from the direct source of heat, so you feel less heat.

What earth process would it be if you put your hand next to a candle flame it doesnt really hurt but if you put your hand directly above the flame you burn yourself?
The process of heat rising would be the earth process in force if a candle is touched on the side and it is cooler than a hand over the candle. The hand over the candle will get burned because of the direction of the heat of the flame.

If a moth is flying around a candle. The flame flickers burns and produces smoke. why is the moth living and the candle is not?
Moths have evolved adaptations that allow them to withstand the heat of flames, which is why they can fly close to candles without getting burnt. The candle, on the other hand, is made of wax which burns and is consumed by the flame, leading to its eventual extinguishment.
What is brandy warmer?
