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 !
To make people aware of global warming.
You don't do a thing!! My husband replaced the batteries on our the other night, and after a few minutes (I assume it got a radio signal update) it reset itself! Pretty cool... You are wrong!!!!! I asked for a manual reset, not waiting for the clock to maybe catch up.
One reason for global warming is the greenhouse effect. Cars and factories emit gases such as Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide. When in the atmosphere, these gases trap and retain the Sun's heat making the overall average temperature of the earth rise. This leads to other problems.
Atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The reason it is typically found in decimal form is because it is using the average number of neutrons, from all the different isotopes of that element.
The main reason the mass of an atom is expressed in atomic mass units rather than in grams is that the mass of an individual atom is extremely small, typically in the range of 10^-23 grams. Using grams would result in cumbersome decimal numbers, while atomic mass units simplify calculations and comparisons of atomic mass.
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.
The term "clocks" likely comes from the Middle English word "clokke," which originated from the Latin word "clocca" meaning "bell." Clocks used to primarily consist of mechanisms with bells to indicate time, thus the name stuck.
No. Humans are the reason for Global Warming! Humans in big rich countries!
cause they didnt have clocks then and they only built one
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.
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. :)
They kill.
