The answer depends on what needs to rotate. A second hand, hour hand, earth, sun, Ballet dancer, spinning top? Who knows?
IT TAKES THE EARTH 360 DAYS TO ROTATE. it actually takes 365 days to orbit the sun and 23 hours 55 min to rotate on its axis
The Earth rotates 2π radians (360 degrees) every 24 hours. In 5 hours, it would rotate 2π/24 * 5 = π/6 radians.
The earth rotates 360o of longitude every 24 hours, so it takes 24 ÷ 360 hours to rotate 1o of longitude: 24 ÷ 360 hours = 24/360 hours = 1/15 hours = 1/15 x 60 minutes = 4 minutes The sun will cross 1o of longitude in the same time that the earth takes to rotate 1o of longitude, namely 4 minutes.
For Earth to rotate 60° will take four hours. Ish.Earth takes 24 hours (approximately) to rotate a full 360°. 60° is 1/6 of this, so divide the full 24 hours by 6 to get 4 hours.
Is this question asking "how many degrees does the planet rotate in one hour?" In one day (24 hours), the planet makes a full rotation of 360 degrees. So each hour it would rotate 360/24 = 15 degrees.
360
360 degrees per 24 hours.
The Earth rotates one full rotation - 360 degrees - in 23 hours and 56 minutes.
There are 6 hours in 360 minutes, since 60 minutes = 1 hour → 360 minutes = 360 ÷ 60 hours = 6 hours
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it rotates 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees/hour). Therefore, in 2 hours, the Earth will rotate 30 degrees (15 degrees/hour x 2 hours = 30 degrees).
360 hours = 360/24 = 15 days360/ 24 hours = 15 days
6 hours equal 360 minutes.
