How far does the earth rotate in 15 minutes?
According to some scientists publications the average speed of the earth rotation is about 30km/s, so 15 minutes has to be 27000km
How would it take the earth to rotate 7an a half degrees?
If the Earth rotates 15 degrees/hour, then 7.5 degrees is half of 15, so it takes half an hour or 30 minutes.
If the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in 24 hours through what angle will the Earth rotate in 2 hours?
360 divided by 24 is 15. Times 2 is 30...I don't know if there are other factors that come into play, but it seems right.
How fast does the sun travel over the earth?
The sun does not travel over the earth. The earth turns "under" the sun. As a result, the sun appears to move across the sky a the rate of about 15 degrees per hour
How many degrees will earth now rotate in a solar day?
You are a clever questioner, indeed. You have asked a subtle and interesting question. You probably know that there are at least two distinct answers to the question, because there are two different kinds of day. The sidereal day is the period during which earth rotates 360 degrees relative to the distant stars (not the sun). If you were far above the solar system looking down on earth from the north, you would see that earth rotates a full 360 degrees relative to the stars, but still has to rotate a little more to reach the starting point relative to the sun, because we orbit the sun, this complicates things a little bit. So in a sidereal day, the earth rotates exactly 360 degrees, but this day lasts only 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, roughly. The synodic day is the period during which earth rotates one time relative to the sun. This rotation will be slightly more than 360 degrees, because as explained above the earth has to rotate a little extra (beyond a full 360 degrees) in order to reach the starting point relative to the sun. This is the day as we typically experience it. So if you are asking about the earth's rotation during a synodic day, the rotation is closer to an average of 360.9856 degrees per day. Another way to look at this is to consider the earth's coordinate system. There are 360 degrees of longitude. It is possible to consider the earth's degrees of longitude as the basis of your measurement, so that you can say the earth rotates 360 degrees of longitude relative to the sun on average each day, even though the absolute rotation of the earth is closer to 360.9856 degrees on average.
How far does the earth rotate in 15 minutes?
According to some scientists publications the average speed of the earth rotation is about 30km/s, so 15 minutes has to be 27000km
How many minutes does it take the earth to rotate through 15 degrees?
1 hour
How long does it take Uranus to rotate on it's axis?
17.24 earth hours
How would it take the earth to rotate 7an a half degrees?
If the Earth rotates 15 degrees/hour, then 7.5 degrees is half of 15, so it takes half an hour or 30 minutes.
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 degrees the earth rotate per hour?
15
How many degrees does the minutes hand on an analog clock rotate in 15 minutes?
Forty five degrees.
How many degrees of latitude does the earth rotate in 1 hour?
15
How often do the stuff in the shops rotate on Moshi Monsters?
it rotates every 15 minutes
How many degrees does the minute hand rotate in 30 minutes?
It moves through 15 degrees every 30 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.
How long does it takes for earth to rotate 15 degrees?
360 degrees in 24 hours means 15 degrees per hour.
