NO
Are corrugated cardboard boxes flammable when hit by sun light coming in thru glass windows?
Corrugated cardboard is combustible and can catch fire if exposed to a heat source like direct sunlight. The risk of fire increases if the cardboard is in contact with other flammable materials or if the heat source is intense. It is important to keep cardboard away from direct sunlight or sources of heat to reduce the risk of fire.

Why is it possible to boil water in a thin paper container but not in a cardboard container?
Thin paper containers can withstand the heat of boiling water because they have minimal insulation and can transfer heat effectively. Cardboard containers, on the other hand, have thicker layers and more insulation, which makes it difficult for the heat to transfer efficiently, resulting in the cardboard being unable to withstand the heat and potentially catching fire.
What element whose name light-bearing burns spontaneously in air?
