1 day = 1 360 degree rotation and that is also 24 hours, so the shift per hour is 360/24 = 15 degrees /hour

What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
What is the cause of the 24 hour day on earth?
the rotation of the earth around the sun. * * * * * No. It is the rotation of the earth on its own axis.
How long is 1 second on Pluto?
An hour is a period defined for Earth beings. However, an hour being a part of a rotation of a planet, based on Earths period of rotation, then an hour on Pluto would be:- R / 24 where R is the rotation period. Pluto =~ 6.4 Earth Days. So 6.4 / 24
Stars appear in fixed locations in the sky because they?
This is due to the earths rotation. Its the same reason as the suns movement accross the sky throughout the 24 hour day.
What is the linear speed of earth's rotation at latitude 60 point 24 degrees north?
The linear speed of the Earth's rotation at any latitude can be calculated by multiplying the cosine of the latitude by the equatorial rotational speed of the Earth, which is approximately 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour). At latitude 60.24 degrees north, the linear speed of the Earth's rotation would be approximately 835 kilometers per hour (519 miles per hour).
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
Why do you turn your clocks backwards on daylight savings?
because the earths rotation slows down and it gives you an extra hour :)
How fast does earths rotation go in miles?
The earth is 24,901.55 miles in circumference and rotates that distance once every 24 hours. Dividing 24,901.55 miles by 24 hours gives a speed of: 204.2 Miles/Hour (Miles per hour)
What does the earths rotation do?
The Earth's rotation greatly enhances the even distribution of heat from insolation, and is the cause of the 24-hour night and day cycle of illumination over most of the Earth.
What is the angular speed of one hour?
One rotation per hour!One rotation per hour!One rotation per hour!One rotation per hour!
What causes the 24 hour change in the sky?
earth completes a full rotation on its axis and thats why we have day and night because of much direct light earths getting from the sun
Why does a second hand of a clock have a slower velocity?
No the 'second hand' of a clock has a higher velocity, it makes one rotation each minute, while the minute hand makes on rotation each hour and the hour hand makes one rotation every 12 hours.
Rate of earths rotation?
-- 1 revolution per 23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded) -- 0.25 degree per minute (rounded) -- 0.262 radian per hour (rounded)
What is mars rotating period?
The Martian "day" (rotation period) is 24 hours and 37 minutes - a little over 1/2 hour longer than earths day.
A rotation equals how many hours and min?
One full rotation of the hour hand is 12 hours. One full rotation of the minute hand is an hour
Which term would you use to describe the spinning of Earths on its axis?
Rotation or Rotating. If you stand at either the North Pole or the South Pole , you just twist/rotate on the spot. However, if you are at the Eqautor you are rotating at about 1,000 miles per hour. At latitudes 60N & 60 S your rotational speed is about 500 miles per hour.
What happens on the earth on account of rotation?
A complete spin of the earth on it's own axis is the rotation. It takes approx. 24 hour for earth to take one complete rotation.
