== The temperature of a candle flame is about 800 degrees Celsius. == Depending on the wax, and the concentrations of water of oxygen in the air, somewhere between 1,200 degrees and 1,700 degrees Celsius.

The heat capacity and conductivity of air and the exhaust products of combustion, however, are both very low. In practice, candle flames do not seem very hot (much like metal feels colder than wood at room temperature, though they are the same temperature).
The outer core of the candle flame is light blue -- 1670 K (1400 °C). That is the hottest part of the flame. The color inside the flame becomes yellow, orange and finally red. The further you reach to the center of the flame, the lower the temperature will be. The red portion is around 1070 K (800 °C). The reason there is this variation in a candle's flame color is because air convection pulls the warmer gasses upwards.

The heat capacity and conductivity of air and the exhaust products of combustion, however, are both very low- so in practice, candle flames do not seem very hot (much like metal feels colder than wood at room temperature, though they are the same temperature).

the definition of flame is a phenomenon that occurs during a chemical reaction that gives out light and heat. different substance when giving out flames would have different enrgy. Even the same substance would give out different flames under different circumstances, forexample, most object would have a more violent flame if combusted in oxygen rather than the normal atmosphere. To answer the question, there is no definite temperature for flames...its just really hot
