We recently did an experiment on this and found that candles burn quicker in warmer temperatures, but we would like to know why. We have tried asking this question to so many other people on the web, but none would take the time to answer, so we're hoping you can tell us. We think this may have something to do with the zeroth law of thermodynamics, but we're not sure. What we did was put 3 candles inside (70 deg. f) and 3 candles in the garage (50 deg. f) and burned them for 6 hours. Again, please answer us!!!!! Thank you sincerely, katie and julie
