Question A bar-tailed godwit holds the record for the longest recorded non-stop flight. It travelled 13,560 km from Alaska to Australia without stopping. Its journey started on 13 October 2022 and continued for about 11 days. Find out the approximate distance it covered every day. Find out the approximate distance it covered every hour.
Total distance = 13,560 km and duration = 11 days Distance covered every day = 13,560 ÷ 11 ~ 1,233 km/day. Thus, the godwit covers approximately 1,233 km per day. One day = 24 hours Distance covered every hour = 1,233 ÷ 24 ~ 51 km/hour. Thus, the godwit covers approximately 51 km per hour.
