Because apache spawns by default a number of child processes listening
for requests in order to provide quicker responses to it's connections.
You can set the number of processes to be spawned by default, and the
maximum number of apache's you want to be spawned under heavy www load,
in the apache config file.  Look for the MinSpareServers and
MaxSpareServers directives.
