Candles

Oh, dude, you can totally get a replacement hanging dish for your Yankee candle wax burner at the Yankee Candle website or in their stores. It's like, not rocket science, just head over there and grab one. Happy melting, my friend!

A wax candle is an example of something made of wax that can be lit.

Many years ago, plumbers used the plumbers candle to join pipes together. Wax from the burning candle would be dripped onto a "wiping cloth" to form a protective coating on the cloth. Molten lead would then be poured onto the cloth and wiped onto the joint of the pipes to seal the joint. The candle wax prevented the lead from sticking to the cloth. This process of joining pipes together was called "lead wiping."

It is likely that plumbers needed a candle that would give off a lot of light while they worked in dark confined spaces. They may have asked candlemakers to create a candle that provided more light than a normal taper candle. So, another theory for the origin of the plumbers candle is that the plumbers candle was made specifically to provide light for plumbers as they worked. In the days before paraffin wax, tallow (animal fat or oil) was used to make candles. Plumbers candles used to be made from spermaceti, the oil from the head of the sperm whale. Spermaceti candles were renowned as the brightest burning candles of their times. The plumbers candle was made a bit thicker with a larger wick, which made it burn even brighter. Due to overhunting, the sperm whale become an endangered species, and use of the spermaceti became illegal. Paraffin wax quickly became a replacement for spermaceti and burns almost as brightly.

ALSO: Plumbers' candles contain more stearic acid, which means they burn longer than cheap ones which contain less.

Well, honey, a candle works by burning a wick that is soaked in wax. When you light the wick, the heat melts the wax, which then gets drawn up the wick and vaporizes. The vaporized wax then combines with oxygen in the air to produce a flame. Voila, you've got yourself a little flickering light to set the mood or cover up that funky smell in the bathroom.

Oh, dude, you're really into those scented oil candles, huh? Well, apparently, Glade discontinued them because they wanted to focus on other products or maybe they just got tired of making things smell nice. Who knows, man? It's a wild world out there in the scented candle industry.

In Buddhism, nirvana is not envisioned as the blowing out of a candle. Nirvana is the state of ultimate liberation and enlightenment, where one is free from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. It is a state of perfect peace, happiness, and wisdom. The blowing out of a candle may be used as a metaphor to illustrate the extinguishing of desires and ignorance that lead to suffering, but it is not an accurate representation of the concept of nirvana in Buddhism.

The candle-makers went on strike due to a decrease in demand for candles as newer lighting technologies, such as electricity, became more popular. This led to a decrease in job security and wages for the candle-makers, prompting them to take collective action to negotiate better working conditions and compensation. The strike was a response to the changing market dynamics impacting their industry.

They're always cutting back.

If you have a venn diagram packet for homework that is not the answer. The real answer is "they only work on wickends"

The five-letter word for what is made by a lit candle is "flame." A flame is the visible, gaseous part of a fire, which emits light and heat as a result of combustion. When a candle is lit, the wick absorbs the melted wax and vaporizes it, creating a flame that burns steadily until the wax is consumed.

A candle is an inanimate object made of wax and a wick that burns to produce light, heat, and sometimes fragrance. It does not have the ability to grow, reproduce, or respond to its environment like a living thing. Living things, on the other hand, are characterized by cellular organization, metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, reproduction, and evolution. These fundamental differences distinguish candles from living organisms.

Smeaton's 24 candles on the Eddystone Lighthouse could be seen up to 22 miles away due to the design of the lighthouse lens and the height of the structure, which maximized the reach of the light. This was a significant improvement in visibility compared to previous lighthouses.

The black innermost flame of a candle is due to incomplete combustion. This happens when there is not enough oxygen present for the fuel (wax) to burn completely, leading to the production of soot particles that appear as black smoke.

No, a candle in a jar will not last forever. The candle will eventually burn out as it consumes the wax and wick. The duration of the candle depends on factors such as the size of the candle, the quality of the wax, and the environmental conditions.

Light rays travel in straight lines from a light source, like a candle, and pass through the air until they reach your eye. Once the light rays enter your eye, they are focused by the lens onto the retina, where they stimulate the nerve cells to create an image.

Yahrzeit candles are memorial candles that are lit in Jewish tradition to honor the memory of a deceased relative on the anniversary of their death and other significant days. The candle typically burns for 24 hours as a way to commemorate and remember the individual who has passed away.

In microgravity, a candle flame would form a spherical shape due to the absence of gravity. The flame would seek to distribute heat evenly in all directions, resulting in a rounded appearance.

A candle is a mixture of different compounds. The wax in a candle is typically made of hydrocarbons, such as paraffin or beeswax. When the candle is burned, the compounds in the wax undergo a chemical reaction to produce heat, light, and products like carbon dioxide and water vapor.

If you place a jar over a burning candle, the flame will consume the oxygen inside the jar, causing it to extinguish due to lack of oxygen. The remaining air will become warmer and expand, creating a slight vacuum once the jar cools down.

Impossible to be specific. The candle was a slow and painful evolution from an observation by primitive man that the fat of animals would burn if a flame were touched to it. Originally, this was a vessel with a rough fiber wick in it. It would have smoked like crazy and smelled awful, but it was probably still a miracle to our ancestors: A light after dark! And you can control it! Over many centuries, candle making developed from that. Candles were common in Europe by AD 500.

If it is warm outside, like in spring or summer, then it will burn faster because the environmental temperature is warmer, causing the candle to melt. When a candle is burned inside, it will not burn as fast because there is no extra push in melting it.

When you put a lid on a jar containing a lit candle, it cuts off the oxygen supply needed for the flame to continue burning. Without oxygen, the candle cannot sustain combustion and it goes out. Additionally, the lack of oxygen causes the build-up of carbon dioxide, which extinguishes the 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.
