Why Does Smoke Follow You Around a Fire?

The video explains why smoke from a fire often blows into people's faces, debunking the myth of a curse and instead attributing it to the physics of heat and air movement. It covers how heat affects air density, leading to convection, and how human presence can create a vacuum that directs smoke. The video also introduces smokeless fire pits as a solution to reduce smoke by improving airflow and combustion.

What happens to the air molecules when a fire releases energy?

Explain why less dense air rises and how this relates to smoke from a fire.

Describe the role of gravity in the behavior of air and smoke around a fire.

What is convection and how does it apply to the movement of smoke?

How can smokeless fire pits reduce the amount of smoke produced?
