Despite being the fastest human in history, Usain Bolt (Jamaica) is the slowest record holder on this list. On 16 August 2009, Bolt registered a time of 9.58 seconds in the 100 m final of the World Athletics Championships in Berlin, Germany. Bolt broke his own record for the fastest run 100 metres, which he achieved exactly one year previously at t...
Able to run at over double Usain Bolt’s speed is the fastest mammal on land over short distances - the cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus). In 1965, Professor Craig Sharp of Brunel University, London, recorded accurate speeds of 64.3 mph (103.4 km/h) run by a 35-kg (77-lb) adult female over a distance of 201.2 m (660 ft). The fastest animal on land over lon...
As you’ll soon discover, the world’s fastest car isn’t a Ferrari. However, the world’s fastest rollercoasteris. Located at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, UAE, Formula Rossacan accelerate up to 149.1 mph (240 km/h) and 52 m upwards in 4.9 seconds. The shape of the rollercoaster was inspired by the iconic Monza Circuit in Italy.
The fastest car aka fastest land speed record is 763 mph (1,227.9 km/h), or Mach 1.020, achieved by Andy Green (UK) in the Thrust SSC, which became the first car to break the sound barrier. The supersonic speed was measured over one mile driven in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, USA, on 15 October 1997. "It was so powerful that 10 miles off the end ...
The experimental X-15A-2 became the fastest rocket-powered aircraftafter attaining a speed of 4,520 mph (7,274 km/h), or Mach 6.7, at an altitude of 31,120 m (102,100 ft). Launched in mid-air from underneath a B-52 bomber plane, the X-15A-2 was flown by USAF pilot Major William "Pete" Knight over California, USA, on 3 October 1967. Despite achievin...
Ahead of Usain Bolt, Felix Baumgartner and Major Knight are the crew of Apollo 10, who hold the record for the fastest speed achieved by humans. Col. Thomas Patten Stafford, Cdr Eugene Andrew Cernan and Cdr John Watts Young reached a speed of 24,790 mph (39,897 km/h) in the command module of Apollo 10 on its trans-Earth return flight on 26 May 1969...
An actual world with a world record is Mercury, the fastest planetin the Solar System. It orbits the Sun at an average velocity of 107,029 mph (172,248 km/h), completing a full orbit every 87 days 21 hours. Mercury’s orbital velocity varies over the course of its year. When moving away from the Sun, it travels at 86,927 mph (139,896 km/h), however,...
A star named S4714 is the fastest star in the galaxyto have been observed. It orbits around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, which is located at the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. At the closest point in S4714’s orbit around Sagittarius A*, it travels at 53,686,471 mph (86,400,000 km/h), which is over 8% of light speed and over 400...
There aren’t many unbreakable Guinness World Records titles, but this is one of them. The fastest speed possibleis the speed of light in a vacuum, where its velocity is 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,848 km/h), equivalent to 10,337,670 cheetahs, 5,082 of the planet Mercury, or 12.5 S4714 stars. Light takes around 1.3 seconds to travel from the Moon to ...

- Fastest Moving Star (in Our Galaxy) – S4714. Maximum velocity: 15,000 miles per second or 8% of the speed of light. In the center of our Milky Way galaxy is a supermassive black hole, designated as Sagittarius A (Sgr A), that pulls hundreds of nearby stars into its orbit and propels them into extreme speeds through gravitational boost.
