Because the space between you and the campfire heats up more than the surrounding area and creates a hot air current and the smoke follows the current.

What is seen when viewing a smoke particle through the microscope?

When viewing a smoke particle through a microscope, you would typically see a small, irregularly shaped particle with a somewhat transparent appearance. These particles can vary in size and shape, depending on the composition of the smoke. Additionally, you may observe other characteristics such as surface features or internal structures.


Why is there a haphazard motion of smoke particles seen in a smoke cell which is viewed through a microscope?

It's called Brownian motion. It's caused by atoms and molecule zipping about (because of the energy they have as a result of being warm) colliding with the smoke particles and bumping them around. It would happen less if the smoke was very cold because the atoms and molecules would move less. Conversely, if you increased the temperature of the smoke the motion would be greater


How can you see path of light through smoke?

You can see the path of light through smoke because the particles in the smoke scatter the light. When light enters the smoke, it hits the particles and scatters in different directions, making the path of the light visible. This effect is commonly seen in settings like laser light shows or sunbeams filtering through smoke-filled rooms.


A story that link there is no smoke without fire?

There is a saying that where there is smoke, there is fire. This means that if there is evidence of something happening, then it is likely that there is a fire, or cause, for it. This saying can be applied to many situations in life. For example, if there is smoke coming from a building, it is likely that there is a fire inside. If there is smoke coming from a car, it is likely that the engine is on fire. In both of these cases, the smoke is evidence of a fire, or cause.
