The air is hotter above the flame because the carbon dioxide being generated by the flame is moving up due to convection, which states that hot air rises. An easier way to think of it is that smoke from a fire goes up, not sideways (unless the wind is blowing) so there is hot air above the flame, not beside it.
What else can I help you with?
How does the air above a burning candle feel?
The air above a burning candle can feel warmer than the surrounding air due to the heat generated by the flame. It may also feel slightly different in terms of air quality, as the burning process releases smoke, soot, and other combustion byproducts.
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 temperature is colder 600C or -100C?
-100 degrees c is colder because it's below 0 degrees c. 600 derees c is above.
What will happen if you put your finger above a candle?
If you put your finger above a candle, you may feel the heat radiating from the flame and might sense some discomfort or pain if you hold your finger there for too long due to the heat. However, you won't typically get burned unless you touch the actual flame itself.
How does a candle look like it is burning inside a glass of water?
When a candle is placed inside a glass of water, the water absorbs the heat produced by the flame. This heat causes the water to evaporate and rise above the flame, creating the illusion that the candle is burning inside the water. In reality, the candle is burning above the water level.
How does the air above a burning candle feel?

Why does the candle relight when you put burning match near the smoke?
The smoke from the candle has vaporized wax, which is highly flammable vs carbon soot. When the flame touches the stream of vaporized wax (smoke) the heat is transferred back to the wick relighting it.
What happen when air gets heated?
As air (unconfined), is heated its volume increases, and its density decreases. That makes it lighter (per volume) than it was. Warm air will rise above colder air, and in essence, float on top of the colder air.
Why does a candle smoke when it's blown out but not while it's burning?
you may not see it but once you blow out the candle, small embers are still inside the wick of the candle and burning. because the embers are so small thriving off the air particles thus creating the smoke you see.Additional answerIt does smoke while burning, if you look closely enough. In fact, if you put a piece of glass or tin above the flame it will become blackened with smoke particles (carbon).
Why if your hand is held high above a burning candle does it feel heat?

Why does the wax not freeze at the top of a candle?
wax do not freeze on top of the candle because the heat on top of the candle makes it melt and as we know heat makes solid melt.
What burns fastest a thick fat candle or a thiner candle?
The thickness of the wick mostly determines the burn rate. The rate, as used above, is the speed with which the candle wax is consumed, not the rate that the candle burns downward.
How do you prove that hot air rises?
Hot air is less dense (lighter) than colder air, so warmer air will naturally rise above the cooler air.
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 temperature is colder 600C or -100C?
-100 degrees c is colder because it's below 0 degrees c. 600 derees c is above.
