Why Does Candle Fire Get Bigger When the String Is Bigger?

Episode description

Luna asks why a bigger wick makes a bigger flame on a candle. We explore how candle wax is the real fuel, how the wick acts like a tiny straw pulling liquid wax upward through capillary action, and how that wax turns into burning gas. Plus a song: The Bigger the Wick!
