The moon makes one full rotation around the earth every month (29.53 days). This means that it makes one 360 degree rotation every ~30 days, which is 12 degrees of movement per day. 

Since the earth rotates once every day, so it makes one 360 degree rotation every 24 hours.

To determine how many 'hours' later 12 degrees is, do: 12 degrees / 360 degrees * 24 hours(in a day) = .8 hours, which if you multiply by 60 you get 48 minutes.

Write about the poverty in Afghanistan
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Most of the money in Afghanistan is not suprisingly used to purchase weapons, amoury and military confinements. This obviously doesn't come cheap. So in thought that war would get them rich, making civilians happier with life in Afghan, everything went wrong and they had a downfall. There is not a single battle going on meaning weapons cannot be used. Meaning it was a waste of money. They then sold few amounts of guns, armoury and soldiers to the U.S and got not much money. This is why they are what they are today.

How has urbanization affected population distribution in the United States?
pychu [463]
Urbanization caused many people to cluster into large cities. When a city was forming, many jobs began to open. People would leave their unstable farming, trading, fishing etc.. jobs in the rural areas for a more secure factory, office, business job opportunity in the city. This means that the population is distributed unevenly across the US, with the majority of people living in urban areas.
