What is a roman candle?

A Roman candle is a type of firework that is made up of a long, cylindrical tube filled with several small fireworks shells called stars. When the Roman candle is lit, the stars are fired one at a time in quick succession, creating a colorful display of sparks and light in the air. Roman candles are usually designed to be held in the hand, pointed upwards, and can be purchased in various sizes and colors. They are popular for use in celebrations and fireworks displays, but should always be handled carefully and used according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure safety.
