How many minutes does the sun takes to cross one degree of longitude?

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?
Answer: Two minutes Solution: 1) An hour hand takes 12 hours to revolve 360 degrees (one full circle) 2) One degree of revolution would be 1/360 of 12 hours 3) 12 hours = 720 minutes 4) 1/360 * 720 = 2 minutes

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.
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 does it take the hour hand on a clock 2 minutes to move 1 degree?
In 12 hours, the hour hand makes 1 complete revolution, or 360o Therefore the hour hand takes 12 hours ÷ 360 to move 1o. 1 hour = 60 minutes ⇒ 12 hours ÷ 360 = 12 x 60 minutes ÷ 360 = 2 minutes. Thus the hour hand takes 2 minutes to move 1 degree.

How long should it take for a central unit to lower the temperature by 1 degree and if your AC takes about 30 minutes per degree is that too long?
There are several factors to consider, do you have high humidity, how many people are in the house at the time, is it real hot outside, etc. If it takes 30 minutes to bring the temp down 1 degree that is probably too long. You may have a leak in your system and need to add refrigerant.
