Fire In 0 Gravity

In zero gravity, a candle's flame is round and blue.

How would a candle burn without gravity? Onboard experiment BASS shows us, here where heat doesn't rise. Way cool!

How Does Gravity Affect Flames

Effect of zero gravity on the candle flame. In zero gravity, the flame is spherical, blue and soot-less.

In space, of course, you can't have any fires because there isn't any oxidizer (i.e. oxygen) to sustain the combustion process. Inside a spacecraft or in the International Space Station, however, things are a bit different. Inside you have the same air mixture as on Earth, but because gravity is millions of times smaller an open flame behaves significantly different.
