Answer: Only hot gasses travel upwards. This is because gas expands when it it heated and is therefore less dense. The more dense colder gasses are attracted more strongly by gravity so the hotter gasses are displaced.

Why did the pin wheel spin when a lighted candle was placed below the open end of the tin?

Heat. As the air expands (as it's heated), it rises and causes air to flow upward.


xWhy does a candle flame point upward when it is placed horizontally?

A candle flame points upward when placed horizontally due to the convection currents created by the heat of the flame. The heat causes the surrounding air to warm up and rise, creating a flow of air that pulls the flame upward. Additionally, the flame itself is composed of hot gases that are less dense than the cooler air around them, further contributing to the upward movement. This phenomenon demonstrates the principles of buoyancy and convection in fluid dynamics.

Why fire moves up in direction?

Fire moves upward due to the natural convection process. As the fire heats the surrounding air, it becomes less dense and rises, creating a flow of air upwards. This convection current carries the flames and heat upwards, which is why fire tends to move in an upward direction.


Does heat energy flow indefinitely?

No, heat energy does not flow indefinitely. It will continue to flow until a thermal equilibrium is reached where all objects involved reach the same temperature. Once this equilibrium is achieved, there will be no further flow of heat energy.
