You are a clever questioner, indeed. You have asked a subtle and interesting question. You probably know that there are at least two distinct answers to the question, because there are two different kinds of day. The sidereal day is the period during which earth rotates 360 degrees relative to the distant stars (not the sun). If you were far above the solar system looking down on earth from the north, you would see that earth rotates a full 360 degrees relative to the stars, but still has to rotate a little more to reach the starting point relative to the sun, because we orbit the sun, this complicates things a little bit. So in a sidereal day, the earth rotates exactly 360 degrees, but this day lasts only 23 hours 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds, roughly. The synodic day is the period during which earth rotates one time relative to the sun. This rotation will be slightly more than 360 degrees, because as explained above the earth has to rotate a little extra (beyond a full 360 degrees) in order to reach the starting point relative to the sun. This is the day as we typically experience it. So if you are asking about the earth's rotation during a synodic day, the rotation is closer to an average of 360.9856 degrees per day. Another way to look at this is to consider the earth's coordinate system. There are 360 degrees of longitude. It is possible to consider the earth's degrees of longitude as the basis of your measurement, so that you can say the earth rotates 360 degrees of longitude relative to the sun on average each day, even though the absolute rotation of the earth is closer to 360.9856 degrees on average.
A full rotation of Earth is considered one day if only the planet is observed, therefore the Earth will rotate 360 degrees in a day. If the rotation of the Earth is taken into account with the orbit around the sun, the Earth will rotate just under 361 degrees per day.
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
Within the nine old planets, 3 of them have retrograde rotation: rotate clockwise (westward). They are Venus, Uranus and Pluto. Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have direct rotation: rotate anti-clockwise (eastward). All the nine planets revolve around the sun eastward or anti clockwise.
There are 360 degrees in a full rotation around the Earth.
It rotated 15 degrees, because 360 divided by 24 is 15, and 15 times 3 is 45.

The Earth rotates 14.9590452 degrees per hour.
The Earth rotates approximately 15 degrees in one hour. This is determined by dividing the number of degrees in one full rotation (360) by the number of hours in one day. Of the other planets in the solar system, Mars is the most similar to Earth in terms of degrees rotated in one hour.
1 hour
it takes one hour for the earth to rotate 15 degrees so the answer is 30 degrees
To the nearest quarter rotation, 365 and one quarter rotations.
360° / 24 hours = 15° / hour. Note that the 360° is an approximation.
The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to rotate a full round - 360 degrees. That is the same as 15 degrees per hour.The Earth takes approximately 24 hours to rotate a full round - 360 degrees.

It rotates 90 degrees.
