What is the total number of degrees that the earth rotates in its axis during a 12-hour period?
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in a 24-hour period, so in a 12-hour period, it would rotate 180 degrees on its axis.
How fast does the earth rotate around the sun at?
The Earth does NOT rotate around the Sun. It has an orbital track, on which it takes one year to complete. The Earth moves along that orbital track at approximately 66,000 mph (30 km/sec). The Earth ROTATES on its own axis to give us night and day. This rotation has a speed of 1,000 mph at the Equator, 500 mph at 60 degrees N/S , and you rotate on the spot at the poles. (N/S).
How fast does Jupiter rotate on its axis per hour?
Jupiter's equatorial diameter is 88,780 miles, from which you can calculate its circumference. Its equatorial sidereal day is 9 hours 50 min 30 sec, so circumference divided by this will give your answer in miles per hour.
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.
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.
How fast does the earth rotate on its axes?
The Earth rotates on its axis at a speed of about 1,000 miles per hour (1,600 kilometers per hour) at the equator. As you move towards the poles, this speed decreases.
Earth's rotation in days?
It takes 24 hours (one tropical day) for the Earth to rotate once about its axis relative to the Sun. It takes about 23 hour and 56 minutes (one sidereal day) for the Earth to rotate once about its axis relative to distant stars.
What is the total number of degrees that the earth rotates in its axis during a 12-hour period?
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in a 24-hour period, so in a 12-hour period, it would rotate 180 degrees on its axis.
Why would there be only one ocean tide per 24-hour day if the Earth did not rotate on its axis?
If the Earth did not rotate on its axis, there would only be one ocean tide per 24-hour day because tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun. Without the Earth's rotation, the gravitational forces would create a single tide cycle in a 24-hour period.
How many times does the sun rotate per hour?
0.345, it takes the sun 27 days to rotate on its axis once.
Is the earth's rotation is when the earth orbits around the sun?
No, the earth's orbit around the sun is its revolution ( 1 degree per day ) Earth's rotation is on its own axis ( 15 degrees per hour) We ROTATE and REVOLVE at THE SAME TIME!!!
How fast does earth rotate n its axis per hour?
Earth radius is approximately 3950 statute miles at equator the circumference at the equator is 2 pi X 3950 = 24,806 miles. It rotates those 24,806 miles in 24 hours, thus 24,806 miles/24 hours is approximately 1034 miles per hour. Did some rounding and used pi as 3.14.

How many degrees the earth rotate per hour?
15
How many degrees does the Earth rotate in I hour Find your answer using Excel?
The Earth rotates 14.9590452 degrees per hour.
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.
How many degrees of latitude does the earth rotate in 1 hour?
15
