    When we light candles indoors, why do we get a black smog which leaves a distinct marking on the ceiling of the room?

    Question #39751. Asked by mrmagic. (Oct 11 03 3:48 AM)


    Kainantu

    		The black smog are carbon particles commonly referred to as soot.
    Soot is the by-product of incomplete combustion.
