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 can infrared light reach?

Infrared light can travel through a vacuum and is limited by the strength of the source and the sensitivity of the detector. In space, infrared light from distant stars and galaxies can travel vast distances, enabling astronomers to view objects billions of light years away. On Earth, atmospheric absorption limits how far infrared light can travel.


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
