A very good attempt to relate such resembling values together!

It is not necessary for earth to go around the sun in 365 and quarter days. If the earth has taken say 600 days to go around the sun. Yet the degree around a point would be only 360.

So it is not so essential for the earth to cover one degree in one day. If suppose it takes 600 days then to cover one degree it would take 600/360 = 5/3 = 1.666667 day.

As it takes 365.25 day to cover 360 degree then in one day it would cover, 360/365.25 = 0.9856 deg

Or to cover one degree it would take 365.25/360 = 1.01458 day.

What are the degrees of the artitic circle?

Not sure about the artitic (sic) circle but in 2012 the Arctic Circle was approx 66.56 degrees north of the equator. It is around 66.66 degrees north but the exact value depends on the tilt of the Earth's axis which changes slightly over time.


What degrees of two meridians which can form a great circle?

Two meridians can form a great circle when they are 180 degrees apart, as they represent opposite points on the Earth's surface. For example, the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees and the Antimeridian at 180 degrees are such meridians. Any two meridians that are 180 degrees apart will create a great circle, which is the largest circle that can be drawn on the surface of a sphere.


Can you fly an earth small circle?

YES. A small circle is simply a circle around the earth that does not fly over the direct opposite place on earth that a plane took off from. A great circle goes full circumference of earth, where a small circle does not. Being a circle they both fly in a constant direction.


Who divided a circle into 360 degrees?

It is believed that the ancient Babylonians divided the circle into 360 degrees. 360 has the advantage that it is divisible by many of the numbers used for fractions used in everyday life such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 60. The fact the earth did a complete circle around the sun in nearly 360 days might have helped.

In which direction and around what time of day does a first quarter Moon rise?

A first quarter moon is 90 degrees from the earth and the sun. Therefore, it rises around noon. Last quarter moons are also at 90 degrees, but the 'other' 90 degrees, 180 degrees from the first quarter position. So last quarter moons rise around midnight. The moon always rises in the east.
