∙ 11y agoThere are two flames, a orange flame(sometimes called a safety flame) and a blue flame(sometimes called a heating flame).The orange flame is clearly visible and can be seen to indicate the Bunsen burner is switched on. it burns at a low temperature because of the lack of oxygen that is fed to the Bunsen burner.The blue flame is a hotter flame because of it's rich supply of oxygen however the flame isn't very easy to see.
