The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to rotate a full round - 360 degrees. That is the same as 15 degrees per hour.

∙ 14y ago60° is one sixth of a full revolution (360°) one sixth of a day is about 4 hours.
Now for a more accurate answer you must define the frame of reference. Is it the solar system with the Sun as "fixed"? Or is it the galaxy with the stars as "fixed"? or is it some other frame of reference?

∙ 11y agoThe Earth spins about 365 degrees in 24 hours. (That's not EXACTLY true; the Earth spins 365 degrees in 23 hours 56 minutes and a few seconds. But that makes the math hard.)
That means that the Earth spins about 15 degrees per hour. You can work it out from here.
You can do the math in a different way; 45 degrees is one-eighth of a circle. So the Earth spins 45 degrees in one eighth of a day, or 24/8. Again, you can run the numbers.

∙ 15y ago45 degrees is 1/8th of a circle so it takes 24/8 = 3 hours for the Earth to rotate 45 degrees.

∙ 14y agoIf the earth completes one rotation in 24 hours, then to turn 45 degrees would take one eighth of 24 hours, or 3 hours.

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.
How many planet days does it take Neptune to rotate on its own axis?
Neptune takes 16 hours 6 minutes and 36 seconds to rotate or spin once on its axis, or 0.67125 Earth days.
How many degrees does the world rotate in one week?
If by "world" you mean planet Earth: it rotates a tiny bit less than one rotation (or 360 degrees) every day.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour?
Every 15 degrees represent one hour. There are 360 degrees around the Earth. Divide 360 by 15 and you 24 - the number of hours in a day, and the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
How many degrees does a star in the sky rotate about the celestial pole each in a day?
Almost everything you see in the sky appears to rotate 360 degrees, all the way around thecelestial pole, in a day. That's because the earth is rotating us 360 degrees every day.Small exceptions are:Stars and outer planets . . . 361 degrees in 24 hoursThe moon . . . . . 348 degrees in 24 hours
