What are fireworks made of?

Question

What goes into making fireworks? How are they made? Please help!

Answer 1

Fireworks are made with various chemicals packed into containers that allow them to burn at specific rates and at various ignition times. Powdered aluminum or magnesium, for example, gives a bright white light while copper is used for green. They are launched from mortar tubes and are timed to detonate at a preset height above the ground. The fireworks you buy for your backyard are made with the same chemicals for different colors.

Answer 2

Fireworks are generally made of packaging (some kind of cardboard), a mechanical mixture of fuel and oxidizer (similar in function to gunpowder), a binder (paste to hold the chemicals together), and some metallic substance that burns brightly and a characteristic color (aluminum for white, calcium for orange, strontium for red, barium for green, potassium for purple, etc).

Answer 3

Fireworks are made of gunpowder and paper.
