Why place in the east are ahead in time than place in the west?

Places in the east are ahead in time due to the rotation of the Earth. Each time zone is roughly 15 degrees of longitude wide, and because the Earth rotates from west to east, places further east experience sunrise and sunset earlier than places further west.

Why are mars years longer than the days?

Because it spins on its own axis at more or less the same speed Earth does, giving it a day/night time of approximately the same as Earth's, longer by more or less a couple of hours. Mar's year is longer because it has a longer distance to travel around the sun and less angular momentum than Earth's so it takes longer, almost double Earth's the time.


Are places in lower latitude colder than those in higher latitude?

Typically, normally, and on the average over a large area and a long period of time,places in lower latitudes are warmer than those in higher latitudes.An easy way to remember this might be to remind yourself that . . .-- The lowest possible latitude is zero. That's on the equator.-- The highest possible latitude is 90 degrees. That's two places: the north and south poles.
