The extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) brightenings identified by Solar Orbiter, commonly known as “campfires”, are one of the fine-scale transient brightenings detected in the solar corona. Using closest-perihelion observations of Extreme-Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) onboard Solar Orbiter, recently we have reported the presence of smallest and shortest-lived EUV brightenings in the quiet-sun to date. We will present the spatio-temporal distribution of EUV brightenings over different magnetic environments of the solar atmosphere and discuss their role in coronal heating. By using various sets of quiet-sun and coronal-hole observations from HRIEUV/EUI we will present a comparative analysis of morphological and photometrical properties of EUV brightenings. We will discuss the interlinks of EUV brightenings to the photospheric dynamics and magnetic field distribution using HRT/PHI observations. Further their potential coupling through the solar atmosphere will be addressed using SPICE and IRIS observations.
