It varies, as all of these storms can potentially become stationary. However, hurricanes move slower overall.

Planets travel slowest at the?

Planets travel slowest at their aphelion – the point in their orbit farthest from the sun. This is when they are moving at their slowest speed due to the effect of gravity.


Which planet travels around the sun at the lowest speed?

Mercury travels around the sun at the lowest speed compared to other planets in our solar system. Its average orbital speed is about 47.87 km/s.


What is the lifespan of a hurricane from start to finish?

The lifespan of a hurricane can vary widely, but on average, they typically last about a week from formation to dissipation. This timeframe includes the period when the hurricane forms, intensifies, travels across the ocean, makes landfall, and eventually weakens and dissipates.


Which color of light travels fastest through a telescope lens?

All colors of light travel at the same speed in a vacuum, including through a telescope lens. The speed of light is determined by the medium it travels through; in air or a lens, all colors of light travel at the same speed.


How long does it take for a tornado to touch down?

This question can be interpreted multiple ways. In terms of how wide a tornado is (diameter), the average tornado is 50 yards (45 meters) wide,. But sizes can range from less than 10 yards (9 meters) to as much as 2.5 miles (4 km). In terms of path length (how far a tornado travels), the average damage path is 5 miles (8 km) long, but it can vary from only a few yards (meters) to over 200 miles (320 km). In terms of duration (how long a tornado lasts), the average tornado is on the ground for about 10 minutes. But a tornado can last anywhere from just a few seconds to over 3 hours. In terms of how high up a tornado extends (how tall it is), they can range anywhere from 1 to 4 miles (1.6 to 6.5 km).

How fast does an Category 5 tornado travel?

There is no such thing as a category 5 tornado. Category 5 is a rating on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The highest rating for a tornado is EF5 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which has estimated peak wind speeds of greater than 200 miles per hour. Winds may exceed 300 miles per hour. This is not the same as travel speed. The speed at which a tornado travels is unrelated to its rating. A typical tornado travels at about 30 miles per hour, but may be stationary or move faster than 70 miles per hour. A category 5 hurricane has sustained winds of at least 157 miles per hour. A typical hurricane travels at 10 to 25 miles per hour.

What does travel through slowest?

Sound travels slowest through air because the particles in the air are spread apart.


What is the average speed for a tornado to start?

Tornadoes typically form at speeds ranging from 10-20 mph as part of a severe thunderstorm. Once they develop further and intensify, tornadoes can reach speeds exceeding 300 mph in extreme cases.
