When does the earth rotates 360 degrees?

The Earth rotates 360 degrees in approximately 24 hours, completing one full rotation in a day.


How many degrees of longitude is the Earth divided into?

The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude, with each degree measuring the Earth's rotation in an east-to-west direction.


Into how many degrees of longitude is the earth devided?

360 degrees


Number of degrees of longitude for one hour's time?

15. There are 24 hours; a full rotation is 360, so 360 divided by 24 is 15.The earth spins approximately 360 degrees in twenty four hours (one day).The earth spins 15 degrees in one hour. _____________ The above is correct in a general sense, but this is a little more complex than meets the eye. The earth spins very close to what might be called 15 'synodic' degrees in one hour, if you are dealing with coordinate degrees of longitude relative to the sun. But since the earth spins more than 360 sidereal (or absolute) degrees in 24 hours, the number of sidereal degrees per hour must be slightly greater than 15, since slightly less time (sidereal day) amounts to 360 absolute degrees. The sidereal day is about 23.93447232 hours. The earth spins 360 absolute degrees in this period of time. This yields roughly 15.041 degrees of sidereal spin per hour.15 degrees


When does the earth rotates through 360 degrees longitude?

The Earth rotates through 360 degrees of longitude every 24 hours. This rotation causes the cycle of day and night as different parts of the Earth are exposed to the Sun's light.
