Question

why the candle burns with a flame?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because the wick is absorbent it sucks the liquid wax into the wick and upward into the flame. Once the liquid wax gets hot enough, it then turns from a liquid into a gas. The hot gas then reacts with the oxygen from the air and is burned, creating the candle flame that we see.

Answer 2

Answer:

A high candle flame is caused by a wick that needs to be trimmed, the wick size was too large, the type of wax being used, fragrance oil load, or the candle has been burning too long. It is usually due to improper burn practices, however, it can be due to manufacturer error as well.
