For air to burn, it must reach temperatures around 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (538 degrees Celsius). This is the temperature at which the oxygen in the air will help sustain a flame.

well, hot air balloons are made from nylons because so it does not burn or catch on fire with the flames
No, a hot air balloon does not need CO2 to lift. Hot air balloons work on the principle that hot air is less dense than cooler air, causing it to rise. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air, allowing the balloon to lift off the ground.
yes.you need more air,as the candle will burn for longer in a bigger volume of air because the air contains oxygen which is needed for combustion
For hot air ballooning, you will need a hot air balloon, burner, basket, fuel, and appropriate safety equipment such as a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. Additionally, you may need a GPS device, altimeter, and radio for communication. Always check with a licensed hot air balloon operator for a comprehensive list of equipment needed for your specific flight.
Air is needed for a hot flame because oxygen in the air is a key component in combustion. It reacts with the fuel being burned to produce heat and light energy. Without enough air, the fire may not burn as efficiently or at as high a temperature.
