Answer:
The familiar teardrop shape of the flame is an effect caused by gravity. ... This is called buoyancy and is what makes the flame shoot up and flicker. But what happens when you light a candle, say, on the International Space Station (ISS)? "In microgravity, flames burn differently—they form little spheres," says Williams.
