This is because twenty-four latitude lines were chosen so that 24 hours represents a 360 revolution around the planet. As earth spins on its axis, different places receive sunlight at different times. Each day goes from morning to night as earth turns because the earth spins from west to east therefore the day moves from east to west. Lines of longitude help us keep track of time differences from place to place. Mapmakers divided earths 360 degrees of longitude by 24 hours which results to 15, the time changes by one hour every 15 degrees. It is one hour earlier every 15 degrees of longitude to the west and it is one hour later every 15 degrees of longitude to the east.

I don't really understand just started high school
Ksenya-84 [330]
A forest fire would burn large trees, fertilizing the soil and makes room for smaller plants to grow, which provides more food for herbivores. The lack of trees also makes it easier for carnivores to hunt prey. Good luck in high school!

A cell with more mitochondria than a sperm cell would be a skin cell.<br> O True<br> O False
Klio2033 [76]
FALSE
A sperm cell always has more mitochondria than a skin cell.

Why? The sperm's midpiece contains many mitochondria so that a supply of energy is available for the sperm to perform its function of traveling to and later fertilizing the egg.
