SortStack #3004 — 2034-08-30

By speed · Order from slowest to fastest.

1. A garden snail 50 m/h

   A snail can sleep for up to three years during droughts, sealing itself inside its shell until rain returns.

2. A chameleon on the move 350 m/h

   A chameleon's eyes swivel independently, so it can watch two directions at once before its slow, swaying steps.

3. The core of a jet stream 442 km/h

   Pilots ride these high-altitude winds to save fuel, which is why eastbound flights are often much quicker.

4. A Boeing 747 cruising 920 km/h

   The 747's hump exists because the cockpit was put on an upper deck so the nose could hinge open for cargo.

5. A bullet from a .357 Magnum 1.5K km/h

   A supersonic bullet creates a tiny sonic boom, which is part of the sharp crack you hear from a gunshot.

6. An F-22 Raptor at top speed 2.4K km/h

   The Raptor can supercruise, flying faster than sound without afterburners, sipping less fuel as it streaks along.
