How many degrees does the Earth does the earth rotate in one minute?

Let's do some math:
The Earth rotates in 24 hours and during that time it covers 360 degrees.
One hour has 60 minutes, so a day has 24x60=1440 minutes.
Therefore, the Earth covers 360/1440 degrees per day and 0.25 degrees per minute.

∙ 12y agoThe earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so in one hour it rotates 15 degrees. (If you look at a map of time zones you will see the time zones divided into 15 degree segments).
One hour is 60 minutes, so in one minute of time the earth rotates 15/60 degree. Now a degree of longitude is 60 minutes, so in one minute of time, the earth rotates by
15/60 times 60 minutes, ie 15 minutes of longitude.
The earth rotates 1 degree every 4 minutes

∙ 12y agoWell, one answer is that it rotates 15 degrees in one hour. But that radial movement will have different distances associated with it at the equator, or at the poles.

How many degrees does the earth rotate around the sun each day?
A full rotation of Earth is considered one day if only the planet is observed, therefore the Earth will rotate 360 degrees in a day. If the rotation of the Earth is taken into account with the orbit around the sun, the Earth will rotate just under 361 degrees per day.
