What makes a torch burn long?

A torch will burn longer if it is made of a material that burns slowly, like beeswax or paraffin, rather than materials that burn quickly, like paper or wood. Additionally, a torch can burn longer if it is designed with a larger fuel reservoir, so it can hold more fuel to keep the flame going. Finally, protecting the torch from wind or other elements can also help it burn longer by preventing the flame from being extinguished prematurely.
