A question that bothers me In what order would light bulbs in series light up when you close a long circuit?

A question that bothers me In what order would light bulbs in series light up when you close a long circuit?

For a few days, I was thinking of this question.

Lets assume we have a simple circuit that is 100 meters long. And lets say that we have bulbs A, B and C connected to the circuit's 30th, 60th and 90th meter relatively (from the + side). When we switch the system on, would all the bulbs light up at the same time? Or would A light up first and C last (or the opposite)?
