Original Fact

Sanna would be traveling 2.51 miles per minute!

Wow, she's fast!

A cheetah's maximum speed is 64.9 mph.

Sanna is 2.32 TIMES faster than a cheetah!

How does she compare to animals?

A Peregrine Falcon can fly 242 mph.

The falcon flies 1.6 times as fast as Sanna.

My Parents live 1783 miles away, so traveling at Sanna's speed, she would get from school to my parent's house in 11.8 hours. That is 2.2 times faster than a car could get there!

Distance to my parents house

Sanna would take 166 hours to ski around the equator which is 24,901 miles around. That's 6.9 days!

Where in the world is Sanna?
