Question

Why can you not keep your palm above a burning candle but you can keep it on the sides of a candle flame?

Answer 1

Answer :

Hello , It is simple that we can keep our palms on the sides of candle because the hot air rises up , it doesn't move sideways. There when we put our hands above the candle, the hot air comes in contact and we feel hot but on the other hand if we put our palms of the side of candle , the hot air rises up and Therefore we don't feel hot.

Hope this helps you .

Answer 2

Answer:
