Rankle #20 answer: light travel time to Earth (nearest to farthest)

Daily puzzle for Wednesday 24 June 2026

The answer

Rank by light travel time to Earth (nearest to farthest)

  1. 1Moon1.3 seconds
  2. 2Sun8.3 minutes
  3. 3Pluto5.5 hours
  4. 4Proxima Centauri4.24 years

Why this order

Ranked nearest to farthest, Moon (1.3 seconds) goes at the top and Proxima Centauri (4.24 years) at the bottom.

The closest call is Sun (8.3 minutes) against Pluto (5.5 hours), about 40 times apart. That is the swap most likely to cost a point.

The biggest gap is between Pluto and Proxima Centauri, about 6,700 times apart, so that boundary should be the easiest part of the order to get right.

These are the figures the game reveals after you submit. They are rounded; only the order is scored.

Difficulty: easier, judged by how close the tightest pair is.

How it was scored
