For the simple reason that atomic clocks are highly accurate - usually only gaining or losing one second over thousands of years. High accuracy is vital in GPS systems - otherwise the maps would be out of alignment as you travelled.
As an example - One of the most recent atomic clocks constructed in 2010 is reckoned to only gain or lose less than a second in over a billion years !
global warning is a stupid theory Al Gore made up to make money for no reason at all..it doesn't exist
To make people aware of global warming.
Because it gets darker earlier and takes longer for the sun to rise, we set the clocks back an hour because it takes less energy to power buildings/lights/etc. during daylight than it would be to keep the time strict.
The reason behind sodium's atomic mass being 22.990 is quite simple. They use the average of all isotopes, which equals out to 22.990.
Jon Dalton is remembered for the first detailed atomic theory.
The military needed a global positioning system to locate people and equipment and to steer intelligent munitions.
I wouldn't say the inventor, had a reason for calling clocks clocks, the person in which invented clocks came up with the name himself

Unfortunately, not all clocks are circular. The reason that most clocks are circular is because of convenience. As clocks rely on the rotation of the hands to tell time, it is simply easier for the numbers to be arranged in a circular formation around it.
Clocks are still being made. You can buy one at any number of retail locations. The only reason to stop making clocks if is time stands still.
No. Humans are the reason for Global Warming! Humans in big rich countries!
Navigation is a reason for why satellites are 12,000 miles in the air. The purpose of the satellite will determine its location in the atmosphere, with global positioning for the United States of America and GLONASS for the Russian Federation claiming altitudes of 6,000 to 12,000 miles.
cause they didnt have clocks then and they only built one
It's called global warming for a reason...
Well, one reason is that if digital replaces dial.... people won't know the difference between clockwise and counter clockwise. :)
Brand positioning is the reason for customers to buy your brand of products in relation to other brands, whereas brand targeting refers to the target customer base that your product will get to.
