Fire is the whole of light phenomena and heat development that occurs when a combustible substance undergoes an oxidation reaction at a high temperature. By heating and decomposing neighboring matter, flammable gases are released, which themselves oxidize and generate heat, thus maintaining the process itself. The heat generation causes convection, a vertical airflow due to Archimedes' law, because the heated gases expand and therefore decrease in density. The light from the fire is generally caused by very hot glowing soot particles and gives a characteristic flame spectrum. The brown parts of the fire are caused by soot that is no longer glowing and which absorbs part of the light of the flame behind it. In case of uncontrolled expansion one speaks of a fire. The smallest unit of a fire is called a flame. The carbon dioxide formed during the combustion of fossil fuels plays an important role in the increased greenhouse effect.
