Our palm gets burnt by keeping it above a burning candle but it can be kept comfortable on the sides of a candle flame. Explain why?

Hi. Our palm gets burnt by keeping it above a burning candle but it can be kept comfortable on the sides of a candle flame because heat travels upwards and when we keep our hands on top of the flame, the heat get's to our hands and our hand burns but, when we keep our hands on the sides of the flame the heat does not reaches there and our hand is safe.

Hope my answer helps :) . Cheers!!!

a little amount of water is poured into a pan and is kept on the flame of the gas to boil, namee the modes of transfer of heat in this case . [ a] how many modes trsnsfer takes place ? [b] the handle/body ofthe pav is very  hot . by what mode of transfer it gets heated? [c] the etire water starts boiling. after some time by what mode of transfer it gets heated ?[d] steam is beng formed and heat is being transferred to the surrondings. by what mode of transfer heat is being transferred to the surronding?[d] what will happen if the vessel is painted black  from insde and outside?

BCOZ HEAT ALWAYS TRAVELS UPWARDS

Because hot air becomes lighter and moves upwards to rise at the top

The gases of candle when burn are hot so they rise up so our palm get burnt on putting it on the top. The gas never choose a direction to go so as gas rise up heat also rise up so our palm not burn on putting it on the side of candle flame.

This happens due to the aor above the flame heats up and rises which on touching our hands burns it.
