What Is Fire?
"What makes fire hot and glowy?"
๐ก Simple Explanation
Fire is what happens when something gets hot enough to react with air! You need three things: something to burn (like wood), oxygen from the air, and enough heat to start it. When these mix, the stuff that's burning breaks apart and combines with oxygen really fast. This reaction releases a bunch of energy as heat and light - that's the fire you see! The different colors come from how hot it is and what's burning.
๐ Fun Fact!
Fire can't exist in space because there's no oxygen - astronauts have to be really careful!
