What else can I help you with?
How fast do stars appear to move across the sky each hour?
A Metiorite (a shooting star) can go about 26 miles per second or 93600mph In the earths atmosphere. Speed:1560miles per min Time:10min Distance:15600 miles. Aprox So a shooting star can go about (^)
In terms of what you would actually observe What does it mean that the moon apparently moves eastward among the stars?
The Earth spins at a hair under 15 degrees per hour, west to east. The stars don't move, but WE do. When you sit out on your porch on a summer night and watch the stars, they appear to move at 15 degrees per hour east to west. The Moon is also moving west-to-east, at about 0.5 degrees per hour. That's too slow for you to actually NOTICE the movement from hour to hour, but that's 12 degrees per night, which IS enough to notice. If you look at the Moon tonight and note the locations of the nearby stars, then tomorrow night you'll see that the Moon is about 12 degrees east of the previous night's position. Each night, the Moon rises about 45 minutes LATER than the evening before.
How many degrees does the sun appear to move in one hour?
The sun appears to move 15 degrees in a one hour. However, it is really the Earth that rotates 15 degrees an hour, relative to the sun.15 degrees. (This is APPARENT motion only. The Earth is revolving. The Earth takes 24 hours to revolve 360 degrees.) 360 degrees/24 hours x 1 hour = 15 degrees
Can you predict the movement of the stars?
It's pretty easy. They move west at approximately 15 degrees per hour. Outside of that (which is a result of Earth's rotation, not an actual movement of the stars), most stars don't move appreciably over a human lifetime.
If the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in 24 hours through what angle will the Earth rotate in 2 hours?
The Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it rotates 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees / 24 hours = 15 degrees/hour). Therefore, in 2 hours, the Earth will rotate 30 degrees (15 degrees/hour x 2 hours = 30 degrees).
Through how many degrees does the hour hand move?
Each hour, it rotates through 30 degrees, every twelve hours, it rotates 360 degrees.
Stars move around polaris at what degree?
15 degrees per hour.
How many degrees does the hour hand on an analog clock travel through in 1 hour?
30 degrees
How many degrees does the hour hand pass through between 1200 pm and 230 pm?
From 12pm to 2:30pm, the hour hand goes 75 degrees. It is the minute hand that goes through 795 degrees.

How many degrees does the minute hand turn through in a quarter of an hour?
90 degrees
How many degrees does the minute hand turn through in half an hour?
180 degrees.

How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours?
360 divided by 24 equals 15. The sun appears to move 15 degrees each hour, or one degree every four minutes.
How many degrees does the sun appear to move in one hour?
The sun appears to move 15 degrees in a one hour. However, it is really the Earth that rotates 15 degrees an hour, relative to the sun.15 degrees. (This is APPARENT motion only. The Earth is revolving. The Earth takes 24 hours to revolve 360 degrees.) 360 degrees/24 hours x 1 hour = 15 degrees
How many degrees does the minute hand on a clock move in 1 hour?
It moves through 360 degrees
How many degrees does a clock make an minute?
The minute hand passes through 360 degrees in an hour and 6 degrees in a minute
