In my opinion, Santa uses math to achieve delivering Presents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You now ask yourself how? Well the answer is pretty simple. We know that the surface area of the Earth is approximately 510 million square km and Santa travels for about 9-12 hours to almost 4 Billion people. This means that Santa and his reindeers need to travel at approximately 6000000 square kilometers per hour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another aspect that Santa considers is the time. With so many different hours around the globe he needs to prioritize. In order to do this, he should start at exactly at 12 am and start with the countries that have the hour most near to morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up, Santa uses a lot of math to do this job every year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>How fast does Santa&#8217;s sleigh need to fly in order to deliver gifts to all children of this world?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Written by Maya and Tania (6 Delta)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-27722 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.avenor.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maya-si-tania-300x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.avenor.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maya-si-tania-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.avenor.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maya-si-tania-1030x824.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.avenor.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maya-si-tania-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.avenor.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maya-si-tania-1536x1229.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.avenor.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/maya-si-tania.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>As you all know, Santa Claus delivers gifts to children all over the world in just one night! We\u2019re sure that most of you are wondering how he manages to do this. Well we can easily find out, using the power of Math&#8217;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know for a fact that there are about 1.6 billion households in the world and since our planet has about 65 million square kilometers of habitable land, the distance between any two houses should be more or less 0.225 km. Santa is responsible for delivering presents to about 500 million households, since the rest of the people don\u2019t believe in him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santa has around 42 hours to deliver presents due to different time zones around the world and because the night is longer in winter. During this time he has to travel a distance of about 0.33 km from each house, place the gifts under the Christmas tree, eat any snacks left for him and travel to the next house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means that Santa must spend 300 microseconds (0.003) per house. It sounds impossible for any ordinary person, but we are sure that Santa gets a little bit of help from Christmas magic!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our passionate mathematicians from Math-ly News have decided to put together a little something for you to enjoy over these holidays!
