50. Read the paragraph and select the best answer.

Although light travels at approximately 186,000 miles per second, it still takes the light from some stars millions of years to reach the earth. In fact, when you see a star in the sky, you are really only seeing the light from that star. Sometimes a star burns out, similar to the way a candle does. When this happens, the star ceases to exist and no longer produces light. However, the light that was produced before the star burned out continues to travel to the earth. Therefore, it is possible to “see” a star that no longer exists.

What is a star compared to in this paragraph?
