    The reason why חֲנֻכָּה candles cannot be very high off the ground is:

    We are afraid that strong winds which are very high up might blow out the candles

    Why is a שַׁמָּשׁ candle lit on a חֲנֻכִּיָּה?

    To remind us that the Greeks did not allow us to light שַׁבָּת candles
    To show that you can fulfill the מִצְוָה just with the שַׁמָּשׁ (if you have no additional candles)
    It represents the נֵר מַעֲרָבִי that was on the מְנוֹרָה in the מִשְׁכָּן
