Yes. Radiation is to the emission of energy in rays / waves. Heat moves through space as energy waves. It is the type of heat one feels when sitting in front of a fireplace or around a buring camp fire or in this case a candle all though because the flame will be smaller (at the buring wick the heat will be much less) . It travels in straight lines at the speed of light. This is the reason that when facing the fire, only your front is warmed. The back of you is not warmed until you turn around. Most of the preheating of fuels ahead of a fire is by radiation of heat from the fire. As the fire front gets closer, the amount of radiant heat received is increased.
You will also have convection;
Convection is the transfer of heat by the physical movement of hot masses of air. As air is heated, it expands (as do all objects). As it expands, it becomes lighter then the surrounding air and it rises. (This is why the air near the ceiling of a heated room is warmer than that near the floor.) A candle does this but because its such a samll flame its does not make any major change in a normal room envirom ment unless many burn at one time

Why do stars give off electromagnet radiation?
they are magnetic
What form of electmagnetic waves does the sun give off?
The Sun emits radiation in all parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. However, the strongest intensity radiation is at wavelength of around 450 nanometers. This is in the visible region.
The sun gives off a large amount of energy in the form of what kind of radiation?
Electromagnetic radiation
Why does the light of the candle turn off when the cup cover the candle and the water raises?
the candle light turns off when the cup is placed over the candle and water rushes in due to atmospheric pressure . when cup is placed on the candle all the air goes out and the glass lifts up due to the atmospheric pressure releases from outside of the cup as there is no air inside to balance the pressure exerted out of the cup . thus when the glass lifts up and the water gets into the cup .
What it gives off its own heat and light?
A sun, a candle, a fire.
Does the burning of a candle give off or absorb heat?
maybe both
Reaction such as a candle burning give off energy in the form of heat they're called?
Exothermic Trishi! =)
How do microwaves give off radiation?
Microwaves do not 'give off' radiation as such. Microwaves are radiation.
What kind of Light does a candle give off?
candle light
Does iPhone4 give off radiation?
All cell phones give off varying degrees of radiation.
Do lamps give off heat?
As a candle burns it produces the by products that are the result of that burning [burning of the wax and the wick] For the most part these by products are Carbon Dioxide, Water and Soot [Carbon] if the candle burns with a sooty flame.
What is the definition of 'exothermic'?
A chemical reaction that gives off heat ... like burning a candle.
Does kryptonite give off gas or radiation?
Radiation
Does my I watch have radiation?
Does the Apple I watch give off radiation
Do humans give off radiation?
No
Why is there still smoke coming out a candle after it is gone out?
When a candle "goes out" the burning of the wax has stopped, but there is still some burning of the wick material. Typically this burning is less intense and less "clean" than the burning of the wax and gives off more smoke. Once the wick stops burning, there should not be any more smoke.
Why does a candle give off little heat?
In fact the candle does give off quite a lot of heat- about 1400c. Most of it is going straight up. Alot of energy is given off as light too.
