if you see a clock 20 feet away,  you are 20 nanoseconds behind the time
it shows, as it takes about a nanosecond for light to travel 1 foot.

if the clock is atomic, with lighted numerics, and your 100 feet away,
then you are 100 nanoseconds late.

If you have 4 clocks around you 10 ft,  25 ft, 50 ft, 100 ft   which
clock is right ?
