Butane

Butane is a type of gas that you can't see, smell, or taste, but it can be very useful! It's a fuel that can be used in things like lighters, heaters, and stoves.

You might have seen a lighter that uses butane gas before. When you press the button on top, butane gas comes out and mixes with air. Then, if you strike the lighter, it makes a spark which ignites the gas and creates a little flame!

Butane gas is also used in camping stoves, which are like mini kitchens that you can take with you when you go camping. The butane gas comes out of the stove and mixes with air to create heat for cooking food or boiling water.

Overall, butane is a gas that can be used as a fuel to create fire and heat for different things that we use every day!
