What is earth's hourly rate of rotation?
Since Earth has ROUGHLY one full rotation (360 degrees) every day, that is equivalent to 360 degrees / 24 = 15 degrees per hour.
How long would a radar signal take to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars when the two planets are 1.5 AU apart?
It would take a radar signal 3049600 seconds to complete a round-trip between Earth and Mars. Divide by 60 to get minutes and divide again to get hours.
Does the sun only travel once around the earth every 24 hours?
The sun does not travel around the Earth, Earth travels around the sun. The Earth rotates once every 24 hours.
Why is Earth day approximalety 24 hours long?
because that is how long the earth takes to make 1 full rotation on its axis
How long does earth's elliptical orbit take?
Our day is based on the Earth's rotation, that is most people say it is 24 hours. If you want to get technical it takes 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.2 seconds.
15 degree intervals divide the earth into 24 hours?
plant
What 15 degree intervals devide the earth into 24 hours?
Degrees longitude. The intervals divided this way are the time zones.
What are the intervals of four times daily?
The intervals for 4 times daily would be every 6 hours. There are 24 hours in a day divide that by 4 and you get 6. 6x4 = 24
How much time does it take the earth to rotate at 60 degrees?
For Earth to rotate 60° will take four hours. Ish.Earth takes 24 hours (approximately) to rotate a full 360°. 60° is 1/6 of this, so divide the full 24 hours by 6 to get 4 hours.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour?
Every 15 degrees represent one hour. There are 360 degrees around the Earth. Divide 360 by 15 and you 24 - the number of hours in a day, and the time it takes the Earth to rotate on its axis.
The earth rotates 60degrees does in?
360 degrees is the intuitive answer, but it is not correct. The earth completes a 360 degree rotation in about 23 hours, 56 minutes and some odd seconds, which is the sidereal, or true, rotational period of the earth. I don't know the exact degrees in 24 hours, but it will be reasonably close to 361 degrees (roughly 1 extra degree per day to account for a full rotation over the course of a year).
What is the apparent hourly angular velocity of the stars as measured from Earth?
The Earth rotates every 23h56m; rounding this to 24 hours, you have a full rotation, or 360 degrees, every 24 hours. This is equal to 15 degrees per hour.The Earth rotates every 23h56m; rounding this to 24 hours, you have a full rotation, or 360 degrees, every 24 hours.

Why are the eons and eras not equal in length?
Geologists have divided Earth's history into a series of time intervals. These time intervals are not equal in length like the hours in a day. Instead the time intervals are variable in length. This is because geologic time is divided using significant events in the history of the Earth.
How many degrees are each minute an a clock?
12-3=90 degrees. Divide that by 3 (hours from 12-3) and you have 30 degrees per hour. Divide that by 60 minutes and you have 0.5 (1/2) degrees in a minute.
How long does it take earth to rotate 90 degrees?
It goes right round 360 degrees in 24 hours, so 6 hours for 90 degrees, relative to the Sun. Relative to the distant stars, it takes the Earth about 5 hours, 59 minutes to rotate 90 degrees.
How do you divide up 8 hours and 30 minutes into five equally?
If 8hours 30minutes is divided into five equal intervals,then each interval is 1hour42minutes.
How many radians does the earth rotate in five hours?
If in 24 hours the Earth completes 360 degrees then in 5 hours: 360*5/24=75 degrees 75 degrees is equal to 75*pi/180= 5*pi/12 radians
