I am a 7th grader and for the science fair my topic is if colored candles burn faster or not...

when i did the experiment, i measured the length of the candle before putting it on and then after 10 minutes and these were my results

oh btw i did it twice

(how much was left from the candle after 10 minutes [in cm])

color 1st try 2nd try

yellow 2.75 2.7

pink 2.35 2.4

White 2.2 1.65

Green 2.65 3.1

but evryone says that yellow burns faster so that makes no sence to me since when i tried it yellow burns the slowest...

some people say "the lighter the color, the faster it burns"

but others say "the darker the color, the faster it burns becoz dark colors attract light.....

so can anyone pls help me?

tq! =)
