mars orbits the sun at a rate of 15 miles per seconds. how far does mars travel in one day? is the answer 360 miles in a day?
No.
24 * 60 * 60 * 15 = ?
1296000?
Yes.
why are there two 60s

To calculate how far Mars travels in one day, we need to consider how many seconds are in a day and multiply it by the rate at which Mars orbits the sun.
There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. Multiplying these together, we find that there are 86,400 seconds in a day.
Now, we can calculate how far Mars travels in one day by multiplying the number of seconds in a day by the rate of 15 miles per second:
Distance = Rate × Time
Distance = 15 miles per second × 86,400 seconds
Calculating this, we find that Mars travels approximately 1,296,000 miles in one day.
So, the correct answer is that Mars travels approximately 1,296,000 miles in one day, not 360 miles.
