Fire & Flame - are they the Same?

Fire and flame are friends, but not exactly the same, they’re like two kids playing together in a sandbox.

Fire is more like the whole game: it's what starts when you light a match or strike a spark. It’s the heat and the light that comes from something burning, like wood or paper.

Flame, on the other hand, is like the bright, dancing part of the fire, the orange or yellow glow you see jumping up from the matchstick or candle. It's what makes fire look so cool and exciting.

Think of it this way: if fire is your favorite snack at lunchtime, then flame is the fun, colorful part that makes you want to eat it even more.

So when you light a candle, you’re creating fire, and the bright part you see is the flame. They work together, one can’t exist without the other, but they're not exactly twins; they're just really good friends.
