How fireworks are made

Fireworks, so colorful and bright they just light up the night sky, but have you ever wondered what they are made of?

Well i’ll tell you now. Fireworks are highly dangerous explosives that explode in the sky. They are long paper tubes filled with gunpowder/blackpowder which is highly flammable and can explode when put next to a heat source.  Sometimes they have projectiles that shoot  when the  gunpowder is ignited and the projectiles are filled with gunpowder and then the projectiles explode in separate areas. The fuse. The fuse is the thing that you light with fire, which then goes to the gunpowder to create the colorful explosion. The color of the fireworks comes from meal salts. When heated these salts create colors. Aluminium is used for white and silver fireworks. While all the other colors are made from different  elements like strontium carbonate maks cheerful red fireworks, calcium chloride makes great orange fireworks, sodium nitrate creates vibrant yellow fireworks, barium chloride makes bright green fireworks and  copper chloride makes deep blue fireworks. Some fireworks have separate projectiles shot at different times like long tube ones. The source of most fireworks is a small tube called an aerial shell that contains explosive chemicals. All the lights, colors, and sounds of a firework come from these chemicals. An aerial shell is made of gunpowder, which is a well-known explosive, and small globs of explosive materials called stars. Catherine wheels. The Catherine wheel or pinwheel is a type of firework consisting either of a powder-filled spiral tube, or an angled rocket mounted with a pin through its centre. A sparkler is a type of hand held firework that burns slowly and creates a colorful effect.  

So that concludes this text, have a great day!
