Yes, it would be possible to see the dinosaurs roaming around on Earth with a telescope from a distance of 200 million light-years away. The reason for this is due to several fundamental factors:
Light Travel Time: Light travels at a finite speed of approximately 299,792 kilometers per second (186,282 miles per second). When you look at distant objects in space, you are essentially seeing them as they were in the past, because the light from those objects takes time to reach you. Since you are 200 million light-years away from Earth, any light you see from Earth with your telescope would be the light that left Earth 200 million years ago.
Age of Dinosaurs: Dinosaurs existed on Earth from about 245 million years ago to around 66 million years ago. The last dinosaurs went extinct around 66 million years ago, and if you were 200 million light-years away, you would be seeing light from a time during a time when dinosaurs had existed about 134 million years ago.
You would be able to see dinosaurs roaming around because they will have existed in the form of live creatures.
Earth's Changes: Over the course of millions of years, Earth's surface has undergone significant changes due to geological processes, erosion, and tectonic activity. The landscapes of the past would look very different from what we see today, and even if you were somehow able to view Earth from 200 million light-years away, keep in mind that you would not recognize it as the same planet.
In summary, with a powerful telescope from such an extreme distance, you would be able to see dinosaurs roaming around on Earth. The light you would observe would be from an era during the time of the dinosaurs and would capture the existence of these ancient creatures.
