No, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees to the Sun.
If the Earth rotates 15 degrees/hour, then 7.5 degrees is half of 15, so it takes half an hour or 30 minutes.
earth is approximately rotating at 66 and a half degrees
Away

The line that divides the Earth in half horizontally is known as the Equator. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The tilt of Earth's axis is approximately 23.5 degrees away from perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This tilt is what causes the change in seasons as different parts of the Earth receive more or less direct sunlight over the course of the year.
