How far away can you see candle light?

The question is not clear: How far can YOU see something WITH candle light? OR:How far can a lit CANDLE be seen? Its a matter of defining conditions. An observer that has been all day at the beach without sunglasses, has a much lower chance of seeing anything with candlelight the same days night, for example. Questions have to be clearly written. amclaussen


How far does light travel from a birthday candle?

Light from a birthday candle travels in all directions, spreading out as it moves away from the flame. In a vacuum, light travels at approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (about 186,282 miles per second). In practical terms, the visible light from a candle can illuminate a space several meters away, but the intensity of the light diminishes with distance due to scattering and absorption. In ideal conditions, light from a candle can theoretically continue traveling indefinitely until it interacts with matter.

How far away can your eyes detect a candle in the dark?

In complete darkness, the human eye can typically detect a candle flame from about 1.5 to 2 miles away, depending on factors like atmospheric conditions and individual vision acuity. The ability to perceive such a small light source is due to the eye's sensitivity to low light levels. However, this distance can vary based on environmental factors, including obstacles and light pollution.
