If you light a torch and hold it aloft the fire will shoot upward. But if you hold the torch horizontally, the fire will still shoot upward. Whereas if you hold source of light, such as a flash light, horizontally the light will continue horizontally.
No matter how far fire spreads it maintains its triangular shape, sometimes producing several triangles with one angel pointing upwards, unless it encounters a downward facing surface such as a ceiling. Then the fire spreads along the surface and that surface becomes it's base. It resumes its triangular shape when it eats through the surface to the air above.
Is there a scientific theory of fire that accounts for this behavior?
Fire is a light source not light itself.
