Neptune has an uneven rotation that varies between 12 to 18 hours. I will use 15 hours as a midpoint. Neptune has 360 degrees total. Divide that by 15 and you get 24 degrees per hour. Multiply 24 by 3 and you get 72 degrees. So, based on 15 hour rotation time, Neptune will spin 72 degrees in just 3 hours.

The sun appears to move 15 degrees of longitude each hour if it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours. This is because there are 24 hours in a day, so dividing 360 degrees by 24 hours gives us 15 degrees per hour.

There are 15 degrees of longitude in each timezone, because there are 360 degrees of longitude and 24 hours a day, so 360/24 is 15.
1 revolution / 24 hours = 360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees per hour
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).
The sun appears to move 15 degrees in a one hour. However, it is really the Earth that rotates 15 degrees an hour, relative to the sun.15 degrees. (This is APPARENT motion only. The Earth is revolving. The Earth takes 24 hours to revolve 360 degrees.) 360 degrees/24 hours x 1 hour = 15 degrees
360 degrees in 24 hours means 15 degrees per hour.
The Earth rotates every 23h56m; rounding this to 24 hours, you have a full rotation, or 360 degrees, every 24 hours. This is equal to 15 degrees per hour.The Earth rotates every 23h56m; rounding this to 24 hours, you have a full rotation, or 360 degrees, every 24 hours.

360 degrees is the intuitive answer, but it is not correct. The earth completes a 360 degree rotation in about 23 hours, 56 minutes and some odd seconds, which is the sidereal, or true, rotational period of the earth. I don't know the exact degrees in 24 hours, but it will be reasonably close to 361 degrees (roughly 1 extra degree per day to account for a full rotation over the course of a year).
