About The Sun
The Sun is 149.6 million km away on average, a distance called one astronomical unit. Sunlight takes about eight minutes and twenty seconds to reach us.
A car driving at 100 km/h without stopping would need around 170 years to get there. The Sun holds almost all of the mass in the Solar System.
The Sun in Clamber
You reach this landmark at 1395 points. It sits beyond the Moon, so you will only get here in Endless mode, where the ladder never ends. Its real height is about 2.7 times that of the previous landmark, Mars at its closest.
Answers are worth 0 to 100 points depending on how rare they are, so even a run of nothing but the rarest answers needs at least 14 holds to get here. A fall drops you to just below the last landmark you passed, so a landmark you have reached can slip away again. See how to play for the full rules.
