Interesting Facts about Santa
Author: Chris Brammeier
Santa has to visit 90 million homes before sunrise on Christmas day, this means that Santa has 1 1000th of a second to climb down the chimney, eat the mince pie, drink the cherry, fill the stockings and get back on the roof. As well, the sleigh will be carrying around 300,000 tonnes of presents and to move that through the sky, it will need around 100,000 reindeer to lift the sleigh, Santa and the presents. So it all has a combined weight of around 350,000 tonnes.
Then to get to all the homes, the sleigh must move at around 1000km/sec. At that speed Rudolph's nose won't glow red, it will glow white hot from the immense friction from the air moving past. Then at that speed, in five thousandths of a second, the sleigh and all its mass will vaporise in an incredible fireball that would destroy the world.
So you can see, SANTA IS NOT REAL
