FIRE IN FREEFALL - rare physics experiment

Dianna from Physics Girl conducts an experiment to observe how a candle flame behaves in a microgravity-like environment by dropping a box with a GoPro and candle. The experiment aims to simulate the unique flame behavior seen on the space station. Initial results show a spherical flame, similar to those in microgravity. The team attempts to improve the experiment by increasing free fall time. The video explains the science behind flame shapes in different gravity conditions and discusses potential improvements for future experiments.
