Settle an argument someone? by syren 2004-12-21 07:19:39
Please? We just can't figure it out.

Question: How does fire act in a no gravity situation?

Givens:
A fuel source is lit and burns.
There is oxygen to feed it.

The question is, if there was no gravity, how would the fire act?

(The reason for asking is that we were watching Armageddon last night and the SO saw fire creeping along the ceiling on the Russian space station. We couldn't figure it out, neither of us being sciencey, so I am to ask the UFies for their wisdom.)
