== The temperature of a candle flame is about 800 degrees Celsius. == Depending on the wax, and the concentrations of water of oxygen in the air, somewhere between 1,200 degrees and 1,700 degrees Celsius.
The heat capacity and conductivity of air and the exhaust products of combustion, however, are both very low. In practice, candle flames do not seem very hot (much like metal feels colder than wood at room temperature, though they are the same temperature).
The outer core of the candle flame is light blue -- 1670 K (1400 °C). That is the hottest part of the flame. The color inside the flame becomes yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be. The red portion is around 1070 K (800 °C). The reason there is this variation in a candle's flame color is because air convection pulls the warmer gasses upwards.

the definition of flame is a phenomenon that occurs during a chemical reaction that gives out light and heat. different substance when giving out flames would have different enrgy. Even the same substance would give out different flames under different circumstances, forexample, most object would have a more violent flame if combusted in oxygen rather than the normal atmosphere. To answer the question, there is no definite temperature for flames...its just really hot
1,977 degrees Celsius or 3,590.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Does the temperature of a candle jar inhibit growth of psychrotrophs What is the average temperature inside candle jar and how long does it take flame to burn out?
The temperature of a candle jar inhibits the growth of psychrotrophs, and the average temperature inside the candle jar is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Why does a candle burn with a yellow flame?
Candle burns with a yellow flame because its an incomplete combustion. The temperature of the flame also relates to its colour and also the trace metal ions present will influence the flame colour.
What is the middle flame called?
The middle flame in a three-flame candle is often referred to as the "main" flame. It is typically larger and serves as the focal point of the candle's illumination.
A candle is lit The heat of the flame will melt the candle because?
the heat of the hot flame is transferred to the colder candle hey brookie bee i hope this helps i got it from study island good luck :)
What type of wire is in a twist tie?
I think it is made of Nickel mainly because it is attracted to magnets and it loses its property as a ferromagnetic material when subjected to candle flame (candle flame temperature is relatively small) knowing that the curie temperature of Nickel is about 355 degrees celsius . Eng. Shady
