Because the aperture is tiny, so as to take advantage of the depth of field a small aperture will give. This lets pinhole cameras make sharp pictures without needing any way to focus them.

How are pinhole cameras used in everyday life?
It literally takes long-exposure photos through a pinhole that projects an inverted image into a darkened box.

What is the maximum depth of field in photography?
Infinite, with a suitable lens. In theory, a pinhole camera (which has no lens at all) will have a nearly infinite depth of field, but at the expense of extremely long exposure time.
What is an pinhole camera?
The most common type of pinhole photography is done with the aid of a shoe box. The film (use real black and white film as it is less sensitive to light and light leaks because we are talking about a shoe box here) is taped to one end of a shoe box and a small pinhole is carefully punched into the center of the opposite end of the shoe box. The box lid should be placed on tightly and sealed in place. When you handle the film, you must try to have total darkness. Practice all aspects of putting your shoe box "Camera" together in the light first. Place your finger over the pin hole before bringing into the light. Then the box is placed, usually outside on a sunny day. Point the pinhole end of the box toward something that you are interested in taking a picture of. Your subject has to be something that is stationary. The light coming through the pinhole will expose your film for you. Research the subject to help determine pinhole size and approximate exposure times to take some guesswork out your project.

How old is the oldest photograph?
The world's first photograph was taken by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in about 1826. It was an extremely long exposure by today's standards, over 8 hours. The pewter plate that was used wasn't nearly as light-sensitive as today's films or digital sensors used in modern cameras. The camera consisted of an entire room that had been sealed from light. There was a pinhole in one end that allowed light from the scene to enter and strike the plate, forming an image on it. The link below will allow you to view the world's oldest Photograph.
How long would the exposure time have to be to create a star trail photograph?
The length of time required to photograph star trails varies depending on how long you would like the trails to appear. Generally, with a 10 minute exposure, you will have very faint trails. With a one hour exposure, you will have trails roughly four times as long. With a 180 minute exposure, you will have trails that are substantially longer, and will noticeably fill the picture. The longer the exposure, the more white the picture will become as it is filled with star trails.
Why did Victorians never smile in photos?
Early photography depended on long exposure times, so the Victorians had to sit for minutes for their portraits. It's easier to hold your mouth shut than to fix a smile. Later in the Victorian era, exposure times reduced to a few seconds.
How long are disposable cameras viable?

How long in a lifetime are you recorded by CCTV cameras?

Can you use any camera for long exposure photography?
Unfortunately no, You need a camera which is capable of long exposures. Most compacts will give an exposure of up to a couple of seconds or so, but this is usually controlled automatically. If you want to make long exposure pictures you will need a camera with manual control of shutter speeds. Some more advanced compacts can do this and cameras with manual controls will usually (but not always) have extended exposure up to about 30 seconds. If you want to make exposures longer than this look for a camera with a B (bulb) setting. This lets you make exposures as long as you like by holding down the shutter button. (I'm assuming you're looking for a camera and want to make long exposure pictures) Don't for get you will need a tripod or some way of holding your camera still for the duration of the exposure. I would also recommend a remote release, (although you can use the self timer) to prevent shake as you press the shutter. Hope this helps
