360 divided by 24 is 15. Times 2 is 30...I don't know if there are other factors that come into play, but it seems right.
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in a 24-hour period, so in a 12-hour period, it would rotate 180 degrees on its axis.
If the Earth rotates 15 degrees/hour, then 7.5 degrees is half of 15, so it takes half an hour or 30 minutes.
It rotated 15 degrees, because 360 divided by 24 is 15, and 15 times 3 is 45.
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).
in one minute the earth spins 28km, so it spins 420km in 15 minutes
The Earth rotates 14.9590452 degrees per hour.
How does the earth rotate on its axis??it rotates on
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in a 24-hour period, so in a 12-hour period, it would rotate 180 degrees on its axis.
The Earth rotates through 360 degrees longitude every 24 hours.
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
If the Earth rotates 15 degrees/hour, then 7.5 degrees is half of 15, so it takes half an hour or 30 minutes.
The sun does not rotate. The earth rotates
rotates.
earth rotates on its own imaginary axis
earth rotates on its own imaginary axis
i think that earth rotates because the south and the north pole are making the earth rotate
Earth rotates around the sun .
