Ignition Temperature.
An ignition temperature or the kindling point of any substance is its lowest temperature at which it ignites spontaneously in a normal atmosphere without the presence of any external ignition source like a spark or flame.
This is the temperature that is needed to achieve the activation energy for burning or combustion.
The chemical ignition temperature decreases as the oxygen concentration or pressure tends to increase.
This is especially applicable for combustible fuel mixture.
