A flame is an exothermic (gives out heat), self-sustaining, oxidizing chemical reaction producing energy and glowing gas, of which a very small portion is plasma. It consists of reacting gases emitting visible and infrared light, the frequency spectrum of which is dependent on the chemical composition of the burning elements and intermediate reaction products.

Visable flame is the release of visible EM waves caused by the energy realese coming from the heat. if youve ever lit a lighter you know the blue flame is hotter than the orange or yellow flame this is because blue is higher on the visable EM spectrum which means it has more energy which in turn means more heat.
in lamenze terms it is a realese of visable waves
