Why is the shape of a candle flame of a sphere in zero gravity?
Is it because the heat in zero gravity does not increase because there is no difference in density? Assuming the candle is composed of oxygen.
I think your answer is perfect. There is no such thing as "going up" to 0 gravity because no such thing as above. With nothing to bias direction of travel, as things move away from a source and the surface of a sphere is defined as the same distance from its center. Let me clarify: I was assuming when he said that "the difference in density," which meant the vertical difference in the density of the atmosphere land due to the increasing weight of the atmosphere and gravity. It is this difference in the density (in fact, is the pressure differential) that causes the buoyancy, ie makes the hot air or helium balloons to rise. In 0 gravity, there is no vertical change in density / pressure and therefore no buoyancy. "Buster" is ok that there can be changes in the density due to heat and cold in space, but no difference of pressure, so that there would be buoyant convection.

Candles $3.48 Sometimes the simplest of ideas create the most memorable moments. All it takes is a little inspiration. Everything — and everyone — looks better by candlelight, and no artificial light can match the enveloping warmth of candles. The simple act of sharing a meal while watching candlelight flicker in the eyes of those we care about is one of life’s purest pleasures, while the almost magical power of fire is evidenced in the way we call sweethearts "flames" and ritually light candles to welcome the sacred at Hanukkah and Advent. Whether you choose dozens of stubby votives, two shapely hurricanes or a landscape of hand-rolled beeswax cylinders, candle soothe our eyes and minds, welcome guests and strike the mood. Filled with innovative ideas and inspiring full-color photos, Candles offers a wealth of ways to use candles in settings both simple and grand, classical and contemporary. It reveals the infinite variety of candle sizes, colors, scents and shapes available today and provides dozens of creative suggestions for personalizing and enhancing this integral element of a captivating table. When the candles have dimmed, the guestssatisfied and the napkins tossed back on the table, some settings demand to be lingered at. Everyone who entertains knows that setting a lovely table sets the stage for memorable dining and is every bit as important as what is served. That’s why the Elements of the Table series explores the magic that can be created with the basic components of the table: candles, linens, centerpieces, china, glassware and silver. Candles lights the way, offering elegant inspiration for bringing the gentle, celebratory intimacy of candles to your table at romantic dinners for two, festive parties, spontaneous gatherings of friends or anytime you want to create an unforgettable occasion. |
