Flames behave differently in space due to microgravity.
Here are the main differences ----
1. Spherical shape
Flames tend to be spherical in space as there is no buoyancy or convection to distort their shape.
2. Slower burning
Flames burn slower and more efficiently in space as there is no oxygen flow to fuel combustion.
3. No flicker
Flames don't flicker in space as there is no air movement to cause turbulence.
4. Blue colour
Flames in space often appear blue indicating complete combustion.
