Re: Lighting the candle
A gas stove has its own air supply coming into and leaving the unit, so as to not leave the products of combustion inside the kitchen, so it would not need the air from the kitchen for it to burn.
A candle however uses up air from the atmosphere for it to continue burning (once you light the wick with a match, the wick requires oxygen to carry on burning), so it’s pretty much burning *because *it’s using up oxygen (if you cover a burning candle with a beaker, eventually it will extinguish once the oxygen is used up in the burning process)- the wax itself is there to slow down the burning or it would burn as fast as a matchstick would.
p.s. edit it’s funny how sab dimaagh bhiroye huwey hain ahahaha
What the heck are your talking about , gas fired stoves are open flame stoves and they need air from the atmosphere to burn. Cover it with something and it will extinguish in few seconds that is the proof.
