Here are some amazing things that happen in one second:
A bumblebee beats its wings 200 times
A woodpecker hammers a tree trunk with its beak 20 times.
In one minute:
An elephant’s heart beats about 30 times.

In one hour:
The sun travels half a million miles on its trip around the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
An adult takes about 900 breaths.
