The planet Mars, I scarcely need to remind the reader, revolves about the sun at a mean distance of 140,000,000 miles, and the l

ight and heat it receives from the sun is barely half of that received by this world. It must be if the nebular hypothesis has any truth, older than our world; and long before this earth ceased to be molten, life upon its surface must have begun its course. The fact that it is scarcely one-seventh of the volume of the earth must have accelerated its cooling to the temperature at which life could begin. It has air and water and all that is necessary for the support of animated existence. Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level. Nor was it generally understood that since Mars is older than our earth, with scarcely a quarter of the superficial area and remoter from the sun, it necessarily follows that it is not only more distant from time’s beginning but nearer its end.

Can prisoners be rehabilitated
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The short answer is yes.  The entire point/concept of imprisonment is to rehabilitate the prisoners so they will go back out in the world and be respectful citizens.  Criminal rehabilitation is the process of helping inmates grow stronger and change their behavior, allowing them to isolate themselves from the many factors that made them commit a crime in the first place.  This causes a majority of them to commit crimes so they can go back to prison where they know how to survive.  Studies and research has consistently shown that time spent in prison does not successfully rehabilitate most prisoners/inmates, and most of the criminals return to a life of  almost immediately.

Is a high interest rate better when you're a borrower or a lender? Why?
Paladinen [302]
(Give brainliest plz) Inflation allows borrowers to pay lenders back with money worth less than when it was originally borrowed, which benefits borrowers. When inflation causes higher prices, the demand for credit increases, raising interest rates, which benefits lenders.
