A candle burns differently in zero gravity. On Earth, hot air rises and cold air falls, this helps the flame grow tall. But in space, without gravity, the flame becomes round and tiny. It's like a bubble of fire floating around!
Examples
- A candle on Earth has a tall, flickering flame, like a tiny sun.
- In space, the flame is round and looks like a floating bubble of light.
- Imagine lighting a candle in your bedroom, it's like doing that in a weightless spaceship.
