Fire in Zero Gravity!

Fire burns differently in zero G - there is no buoyant force to move the hot exhaust gases up away from the flame so a simple candle would burn as a sphere.

Come on guys. There’s literal force from the fluid. Should have thought about that prior to bringing that as the test tool. Hahaha. A match is for sure the way to do it, or a lighter with a wick.

Do you see that candle rotates not around the center of gravity? Heat and gravity are the same thing!
