Question

Why does blowing air put off a lighted match or a candle but aid a spark of fire?

Answer 1

1. Blowing air puts off a lighted match or a candle because this blowing air cools the wax (fuel) below its combustion temperature.
2. But, in the case of fire sparks, the blowing air fails to drop the temperature to such an extent for it to put off the fire.
3. Instead, the blowing air aids the fire spark by providing it oxygen for combustion.
