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.

How many minutes does it take the hour hand of a clock to rotate through one degree of revolution?
The hour hand of a clock completes a full revolution every 12 hours, which is equivalent to 720 minutes. Therefore, to calculate how many minutes it takes for the hour hand to rotate through one degree, you divide 720 minutes by 360 degrees, giving you 2 minutes per degree.

How long does it take to travel 1.2 miles at 60mph?
"60 mph" means 60 miles in 60 minutes. At that speed . . . -- 1 mile takes 1 minute -- 1.2 miles takes 1.2 minutes -- 37 miles takes 37 minutes etc.

How many minutes it takes the earth takes to rotate through one degree of longitude?
Roughly 4 minutes.
How much time minutes taken by the sun to cross the longitude?
It is instantaneous. A longitude is an idealised line and so infinitesimally thin. To go from one longitude to the next takes approx 15 minutes.
How long does it take the earth to rotate one degree longitude?
20 minutes. The Earth rotates 360 degrees every 24 hours. So it rotates 15 degrees every hour, so 5 degrees is 1/3 hours or 20 minutes.
The international date line roughly follows?
The international date line roughly follows the 180° longitude line in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross this line from west to east, you advance one day, and when you cross from east to west, you go back one day.
How long does it take to cross the Oresund Bridge?
It takes about 20 minutes.
How far is it from Kings Cross station to stevenage?
The train takes about 25 minutes
Why is every degree of longitude the time difference is four minutes?
There are 360 meridians which represent 360 degrees of a full rotation of the earth - relative to the sun. Since the period of the earth's rotation takes 24 hours, each meridian represents 24/360 hours = 24*60/360 minutes = 4 minutes.
Why earth takes 4 minutes to cover 1 degree?
Earth takes approximately 4 minutes to cover 1 degree of its orbit around the Sun because it moves at a speed of about 1 degree per day. This is due to its orbital velocity and the distance it needs to travel in its elliptical path.
How many minutes does it take for the sunlight to cross 93 million miles?
Sunlight takes around 8 minutes and 20 seconds to cross the 93 million miles from the Sun to Earth.
How many days does it take to get to Laos?
From Thailand it takes about ten minutes to cross the bridge over the Mekong River. From other countries it takes longer.
How long does it take the hour hand to maove1 degrees?
The hour hand takes twelve hours for a complete circle, 360 degrees. Twelve hours is 12x60 minutes = 720 minutes. If 360 degrees takes 720 minutes, 1 degree takes 720 divided by 360. 720/360 = 2 minutes.
How many minutes does it take the hour hand of a clock to rotate through one degree of revolution?
