Question

why does only the luminous zone of a candle gives out light

Answer 1

Luminous zone consists of a partial combustion with liberation of heat in large amount and thus light is emitted. Incomplete combustion means the heat and light comes from the organic compound with the loss of hydrogen and thus a bright yellow flame comes out from this zone. This zone is hotter than that of dark inner zone of candle flame.
