Will a candle burn in a space ship where everything is weightless?

Very good question. The candle will burn, there have been experiments in space to this effect, the flame reacts to gravity and burns up on earth. In low to no gravity places, the flame makes a more spherical shape; much more efficient incidentally.


Why do short candle wicks have short flames?

Because if the wick is shorter, the flame has less space to cover?


What shape would a candle flame take on in outer space?

A flame needs oxygen to light. There is no oxygen in outerspace, hence no flame is possible. Wrong!!!! Tsk, tsk. Remember your high school physics? Air, in a sense, moves randomly, due to the fact that atoms are always moving. This principle is called diffusion. Since diffusion is present in most substances, this means that a continual supply of oxidizer will be present. Fires in zero-G burn longer, due to fewer oxygen needs, and diffusion keeps them supplied with oxygen. Correct Answer: ROUND


Would a compass be useful on a spaceship in outer space?

Can a jet fly into outer space?

Pretty darn close, the SR71 can go out as far as the outer atmosphere.The limitation is that a jet engine needs oxygen to create the flame to get thrust from the engines, and there isn't any in outer space.Rocket engines are used to travel to outer space,and they carry their own oxygen for combustion, or use solid fuel that also creates its own oxygen.
