Flames stay hot because they keep getting more fuel. Imagine you're cooking on a stove, as long as there's gas or wood to burn, the fire keeps going strong. The flame gets energy from the fuel, and it stays warm until that fuel runs out.
Examples
- A candle stays lit until all the wax is gone.
- A fire in a fireplace burns for hours because there’s plenty of wood.
- Your stove flame keeps cooking your soup even after you’ve added more water.
