If the Earth rotates 15 degrees/hour, then 7.5 degrees is half of 15, so it takes half an hour or 30 minutes.

How long does the earth takes to rotate through 180 degrees of longitude?

180° is half of a full rotation, so the answer is half of a day or twelve hours (ignoring the variables that contribute to the equation of time offset).


How many times does the earth rotate 180 degrees?

hi earth rotate two time in 24 hour at 180 degree ..because earth is round and it has total longitude 360 degree and earth take 24 hour to move on its axis .. so it cover two time rotate of 180 degree


What are the earth phases from the moon?

Yes you would. Interestingly, the Earth would never rise or set - it would remain a prominent feature in the sky. Daylight on the Moon itself lasts roughly 2 weeks because of the rotational and orbital times of the Moon (both approximately 27.3 Earth days) and the Moon's orbital motion around the Sun.


About how many rotations does the earth complete in half a year?

One half of 365 is 182.5 or 182 days, 12 hours. That would seem logical but the earth does a complete rotation in 23h and 56min. As it travels around the sun, it has to rotate 4min extra to line up with the sun. As it turns out, the earth rotates 366.25 times in a year, 183.125 in half a year. Watch a star rise. the next night it will rise 4 min earlier.


Why is the earth inclined at 66 and a half degree?

The Earth is inclined at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees, not 66.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. The tilt is believed to be a result of the planet's formation and its interactions with other celestial bodies.

If earth did not rotate for 3 days?

Half of the earth's surface, and all the people on it, would have 72 hours of continuous, sun-up daylight, whilethe other half of the earth's surface, and all the people and plants on it, would have 72 hours of continuous,sun-down darkness.

If Earth didn't rotate would there be day and night?

No, without Earth's rotation, there would be no day and night cycle. One side of the planet would always face the Sun, experiencing constant daylight, while the other side would be in perpetual darkness.


Is the earth titled 66 and half degrees away from the sun?

No, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees to the Sun.


Can there be a diurnal cycle if earth was not spinning?

That depends on what you're relating the spin to. If the Earth did not spin relative to space itself, there would be a diurnal cycle. However, each 'day' would last half a year, with the other half occupied by one night. If the Earth did rotate, but did not rotate relative to the Sun, we would be in much the same situation the Moon is in with us - one face always showing to the Sun, the other always hidden. In this scenario, we would have no diurnal cycle.

What angle should you rotate a mirror so that a reflected ray rotates through 25?

To rotate a mirror so that a reflected ray rotates through 25 degrees, the mirror should be rotated half that angle, which is 12.5 degrees.
