How long does the minorah stay lit?

The menorah, specifically the nine-branched candelabrum used during Hanukkah, is lit for eight nights to commemorate the miracle of the oil that lasted longer than expected. Each night, an additional candle is lit, starting with one and progressing to eight by the final night. The candles are typically lit after sunset and are meant to burn for at least half an hour, although they can burn longer depending on the type of candles used.
