Why does the candle flames go out when you blow it?

When you blow out a candle, you disrupt the balance between the oxygen supply and the fuel (wax) being consumed by the flame. When you remove the oxygen by blowing, the flame no longer has the necessary element to sustain itself, causing it to extinguish.


Why is it that when you blow a candle its light goes off but when you blow a fire its light come on?

Oxygen feeds fire, but for a candle, it is too small to withstand the pressure of a good blow, and the fire is easily blown out in the wick, where the core of the fire is. In a bigger fire though, like a campfire, it is too big for a human to blow it out, and so the oxygen feeds it, and makes it glow brighter temporarily.
