Question

Suppose a star which is 100 light years away explodes today. It is  highly unlikely that you will be able to see the explosion . Why? Write the reason 
1rst answer would be marked as best

Answer 1

since the star is 100 light years away, the distance the light  would need to reach earth is so huge and time needed will be so big. Above these, the light may get scattered while travelling such a huge distance

Answer 2

As it is told in the question the star is 100 light years away,so,if it explodes today we would be able to see the explosion but after 100 years from the explosion as light would take 100 years to reach to  the Earth.
