flame

     

A flame is often efined as the visible (light-emitting) part of a fire. Physically, it is caused by a highly exothermic reaction (for example, combustion, a self-sustaining oxidation reaction) taking place in a thin zone. A flame generally emits light, by two different mechanisms which will be described below.
