As the earth revolves around the sun, the earth actually rotates 360.98562628... degrees every day. So, our 24 hour day accounts for more that 360 degrees. If it did not, north would always point to the same constellation every midnight, but since it does, the night sky changes by about .98562628 degrees every night.
