How long does it take the earth to rotate one degree?
TempusFugitive
It takes 24 hours to rotate 360 degrees so it takes one 360th of 24 hours to go through one degree.
4 minutes. It takes the earth 4 minutes to rotate one degree, since it takes 24 x 60 minutes to rotate 360 degrees. 24hrs. x 60 min/hr.= 1440 minutes/360 degrees. 1440 divided by 360 = 4 minutes/1 degree.

∙ 11y agoA lot of people think that it takes exactly 24 hours but it doesn't. It takes 23 hours and 56 minutes. This answer is from Brooke Graham.
365 days for a REVOLUTION
24 days for rotation

(Yes, that is suspiciously close to 24 hours; no, it shouldn't be 24 hours exactly; yes, I know what I'm talking about.)

∙ 12y agoRelative to the Sun, the Earth rotates 360 degrees, on average, in 24 hours, which is 1440 minutes, so it rotates 1 degree in 4 minutes. (Solar time)
Relative to the distant stars, the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 4.1 seconds, so it rotates 1 degree in 3 minutes 59.34 second. (Sidereal time)
The reason for this "difference" is that the Earth is also revolving around the Sun, so as the Earth is rotating around its axis, it is revolving around the Sun, and the Sun's reference point moves from one day to the next. The sidereal day is shorter than the solar day, rather than longer, because both the Earth's rotation and its revolution are in the same direction, i.e. counterclockwise as viewed from north of the plane of the ecliptic.

∙ 13y agoIt takes 23 hours and 56 minutes or 1436 minutes for Earth to complete one rotation, or travel 360 degrees. 1436/360 =3.98 minutes for Earth to rotate through 1 degree.

24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 360 degrees in a full rotation.
24 x 60 / 360 = 4
