Help please and explain!!

8) Consider two spaceships, each traveling at 0.50c in a straight line, Ship A is moving directly away from the Sun and ship B is approaching the Sun. The science officers on each ship measure the velocity of light coming from the Sun. What do they measure for this velocity? A) On both ships it is measured to be less than c, B) On both ships it is measured to be exactly c. C) Ship A measures it as less than c, and ship B measures it as greater than c. D) Ship B measures it as less than e, and ship A measures it as greater than c.

Explanation / Answer

Consider two spaceships, each traveling at 0.50c in a straight line. Ship A is moving directly away from the Sun and ship B is approaching the Sun. The science officers on each ship measure the velocity of light coming from the Sun. What do they measure for this velocity?

Answer) Velocity on the both ships is measured to be exactly c ..... so the answer to the question is option B) On both ships it is measured to be exactly c.
