    When that cooler air is heated, it too rises up and is replaced by cooler air at the base of the flame. This creates a continual cycle of upward moving air around the flame (a convection current), which gives the flame its elongated or teardrop shape.

    The familiar teardrop shape of the flame is an effect caused by gravity. Hot air rises and draws fresh cool air behind it. This is called buoyancy and is what makes the flame shoot up and flicker.

    When air is heated, it moves upward and the gravity pulls colder, denser air down to the base of the flame. Thus a continuous cycle of upward moving air or the convection current gets created which gives the flame its teardrop-like shape.

    the heat from the flame heats up the air also which goes up due to its lighter weight and the cooler air comes down and becomes hot again when comes near the flame and goes up again. This leads to an upward shape of flame every time.

    The teardrop shape of the flame is due to gravity. Hot air rises while the fresh cool air draws behind it. But, if you light a match in zero gravity, the flame spreads outwards like a balloon. So, we can conclude that the shape of flame due to gravity.

    It's simple why flame 🔥 has a fancy tear drop shape.... It's why because, when the fire is burning( in a candle) , the bottom of the flame would be using up the air molecules present at its bottomfor its combustion. Now the air molecules present at the bottom as well as around it gets heated due to which it gets lighter in mass again due to which it moves upwards. The denser air at the bottom provides a hemispherical wide bottom. And the lighter air on moving upwards , widens in volume and spread around the surrounding, due to which the flame becames narrower and narrower. This it how the 🔥flame got its unique fancy tear drop shape......

    The pull of gravity draws colder, denser air down to the base of the flame, displacing the hot air, which rises. This convection process feeds fresh oxygen to the fire, which burns until it runs out of fuel. The upward flow of air is what gives a flame its teardrop shape and causes it to flicker.

    The reason behind the tear shape of the flame is as the temperature of the air around the flame becomes warm and warm air goes up due to lower density than colder air above. So, the flame also goes with it thus giving a tear shape. By the way, in space, as there is no air and no gravity thus no use of density that's why flames in space are spherical. #ProudBYJUite 💜💜💜

    So flames that burn hot enough will have electrons ripped from their respective atoms making them ions and thus being plasma. So putting a candle in an electric field would be a way to test if there are ions in the flame. Veritasium did this and demonstrated the flames, even low temperature flames from the candle, will be attracted to the positive and negative electrodes and thus flames are made of ions and are a plasma.

    When a candle burns, the flame heats the nearby air and starts to rise. As this warm air moves up, cooler air and oxygen rush in at the bottom of the flame to replace it. When that cooler air is heated, it too rises up and is replaced by cooler air at the base of the flame. This creates a continual cycle of upward moving air around the flame (a convection current), which gives the flame its elongated or teardrop shape.
