Question

Why do we feel more heat when we keep one hand above the candle flame than keeping on the side of the candle flame?​

Answer 1

Answer:

it gets warmer because the radiant heat did not have to travel as far. Now hold your hand over the candle and move it as close as you can. Can you hold it as close as you can from the side? You can't because of the convection heat rising from the candle in addition to the radiant heat.

Answer 2

The hand above the flame gets more heat due to convection. On the sides, there is no convection and so air does not feel as hot as at the top.❤️
