😳 WHY? ❓❓
Why does a diya or candle flame always point upwards?
When a diya or candle burns, its flame heats the air around it. Hot air expands, becomes lighter than the cooler air nearby and rises, while cooler air flows in from below to take its place — a process called convection. This steady upward current carries the hot gases and glowing soot particles upward, giving the flame its pointed, teardrop shape and feeding it fresh oxygen from below. That is why even a tilted candle’s flame still points up. In space, where there is no gravity to make hot air rise, a candle flame forms a small, round, bluish ball instead.
