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

On a clear, dark night, a human with normal vision can see a candle flicker from up to 30 miles away. However, atmospheric conditions such as fog or light pollution can greatly reduce visibility.

If you look far enough away can you see Earth in the past?

No. If you look far enough away, you will see OTHER objects in the past. For example, if a galaxy is ten million light-years away, the light of this galaxy took 10 million years to reach us, so we see this galaxy 10 million years ago. Earth's light, from millions of years ago, doesn't come back to us, since (roughly speaking) light travels in a straight line, and moves at the speed of light (300,000 km/sec).
