Eli5. What is fire?

[–] metallic_z3r0@infosec.pub 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fire is a sustained chemical reaction where carbon-based molecules are broken up and combine with oxygen, releasing carbon dioxide, sometimes methane, and heat (and thus light), which primes the remaining carbon-based molecules for continued chemical reactions with oxygen.
