how fast does a sneeze go
When I was in grade school I remember my teacher telling me about the velocity of a sneeze, however that was too long ago for me to remember. In grade school I was amazed to find out how fast a sneeze really was and I am still amazed by the answer I found today. Are you ready for the answer? How fast do you think you can throw a ball? Well, a sneeze is about as fast as a professional baseball pitcher can throw a fastball. The most conservative estimates I found were 150 km per hour or roughly 100 mph. The highest estimate I found came from the JFK Health World Museum in Barrington Illinois who claim that a sneeze can go as fast as 85% of the speed of sound or approximately 630 miles per hour. This sounds like an unusually high estimate and the most likely speed is probably 150km/hr.
