Both visible light and and infra red are part of the electromagnetic specturem and are composed of photons at different energy levels (different frquencies).
Fire is a completly different thing. It's a chemical process - fuel + oxygen+ heat source= fire. As the fuel burns it produces energy in the form of heat and light. What we see as fire is the light from the vaporising fuel.

No, no, no!! Heat (radiated heat) in the form of 'infra-red' radiation is still a part of the electromagnetic spectrum and is composed of photons (or electromagnetic waves, depending on what kind fo problem you're working ☺)
Fire is composed of atoms (or, in some cases, molecules) of 'combustible' chemicals undergoing rapid oxidation.

while sunlight gentle is gone by using a prism ,it truly is broken up into rays of 7 colorings, like that of a rainbow. those are epitomised as " VIBGYOR ".ie. violet, Indigo,Blue,green,Yellow,Orange, and crimson . it truly is termed the image voltaic spectrum. At one end of the spectrum ie. crimson has a miles better degree of heat, referred to as the infra crimson. on the different end, violet it truly is termed the extremely violet rays. hence the image voltaic formed isn't basically a seen spectrum (which we are in a position to work out ) yet additionally an invisible one ( This end is seen to three animals).

Flames are the same thing as smoke: tiny particles of carbon, aka soot. But flames are so hot that they are incandescent, that is glowing. When they cool off and no longer glow, you perceive it as smoke.
^ Dude, plasma is not hot gas. It's electrically charged gas. Temperature has nothing to do with it, and the boiling point of water (100°C) has even less to do with it.

Fire is the rapid release of heat (infrared radiation). It is composed of energy.

Fire is gas hot enough to emit light.

Fire is a chemical reaction

in low temperature it is gas and from 100 C higher it is plasma
