What apears before when you light a candle, the flame or the light?

Answer 1

Flame = Fire = "the process of combustion of inflammable materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke."
The flame, that you see, IS light and therefore occurs simultaneously to light. However, the heat and "process of combustion" that _creates_ the visible flame occurs prior.

Answer 2

The flames come first the speed of light is so fast its hard to tell but if there is no flame what is there to give the light

Answer 3

The flame comes first and then only light. The molecules of the burning flame emit light.

Answer 4
