Default Preventing Frost damage by changing Air Humidity

Sounds a bit sus to me, cos a by product of the combustion of paraffin is
water vapour.

Looking at how some people are protecting their Green Houses against the
frost, i was surprised how tiny the flames were on the paraffin heaters in
the green houses. They were hardly giving off any heat at all.

I was told its not about the 'Heat', but the fact that the flame changes
the 'relative humidity' in the air'.

Could anyone explain fairly simply, how this actually works? Thanks
