How long will it take a tornado to travel over a land?
Each tornado has it's own speed. Some move slow and others move super fast!
How long does it take for a tornado leave?
How long a tornado is over a given location varies depending on how wide the tornado is and how fast it is moving. You can calculate this fairly simply. Once you have the values converted to compatible units (e.g. width in meters and speed in meters/second) you simply divide the width of the tornado by its forward speed to get how long it is over a location. A typical tornado is about 50 yards (45 meters) wide and moves at 30 mph (13 m/s). Such a tornado would be over a given spot for about 3.5 seconds. By contrast, a mile (1,600 meter) wide tornado moving at the same speed would be over a location for 2 minutes.
How much wind does it take for a tornado?
There is no solidly set minimum wind speed for a tornado. The Enhanced Fujita scale starts an EF0 at 65 mph, but tornadoes have occurred with estimated winds lower than that. Tornadoes are defined by the amnner in which the air moves rather than the wind speed. A tornado is a rotating vortex of strong wind that onnects to both the ground and the cloud base.
Is it safe to be in your car in the garage during a tornado?
No. It doesn't take a very strong tornado to pick up or flip a car. If you are in a car and a tornado is coming you should go to the nearest sturdy building or underground shelter. If no shelter is nearby get out of the car and lie in a ditch or depression.
How much area does a tornado take up?
it depends on how strong the tornado is the stronger it is the bigger it will be
How long would it take a tornado to go around the world at top speed?
The fastest forward speed ever recorded for a tornado was 73 mph, though the tornado that set the record did not travel that fast at all times. At that speed it would take about 14 days to circle the earth. The average tornado travels at about 35 mph, at which speed it would take between 29 and 30 days to circle the earth.

How fast did the mother ship tornado wind speed go?
There was never a "mother ship tornado." The thunderstorms that most often spawn tornadoes, called supercells, will sometimes take on a "mothership" shape, with clouds that appear to consist of stacked disks. Without more specific information, is is impossible to know which event this question refers to.
