How does fire work in space? Say, the moon's atmosphere. Does it stay lit? Does it flow like water?

Moon doesn't have an atmosphere, so you can't start a fire on Moon. You need air to burn to fuel a fire. But above is what happens when they lit a fire on the ISS, which experiences weightlessness due to constant acceleration, so basically, a fire that isn't influenced by the effects of gravity.

So, in a nutshell, it's basically just plasma?

Fire on Earth is in an oval shape because hot air rises. In space fire would expand in a sphere outwards

I've seen this in videos, it's awesome.
