What is Fire’s glow?

Fire’s glow is like when your favorite toy gets all warm and bright after you turn it on.

When fire burns, it gives off light and heat, just like a lamp or the sun. Imagine you're holding a glowing stick, that's what fire looks like when it's burning strongly. The light from fire can make everything around it look shiny and colorful, almost like it’s dancing in the dark.

Fire needs three things to stay alive: fuel (like wood), heat, and oxygen (the air we breathe). When you light a match or start a campfire, you're giving it that first push of heat. Then, as the fire burns, it keeps making more heat, like when you keep playing with your toy until it gets really hot.

The glow comes from tiny bits of embers, which are like little pieces of burning wood. They shimmer and flicker because they’re still warm inside, even after the main fire has died down. It’s like how a glowing nightlight stays bright for a long time after you turn it off, only with fire, it can be much bigger and more exciting!
