In a 4-stroke engine, one complete engine cycle consists of four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. This cycle requires two full rotations of the crankshaft, which equals 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Each stroke corresponds to 180 degrees of crankshaft movement, collectively completing the cycle.
rotation of the crankshaft
The crankshaft converts the linear motion of the piston into rotation of the crankshaft.

a stroke is a half rotation of a crankshaft. a three stroke would finish would only be 1 1/2 revolutions.

Each stroke corresponds to 180 degrees of crankshaft movement, collectively completing the cycle.
In a 4-stroke cycle engine, two complete revolutions of the crankshaft are required to complete one cycle, which includes intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. Therefore, for each individual stroke (intake, compression, power, or exhaust), one rotation of the crankshaft corresponds to half of that duration. Thus, one stroke occurs for every 180 degrees of crankshaft rotation.
180 degrees per stroke.
90 degrees would be a half stroke.
It depends on the type of engine. In a four-stroke engine, there are four strokes - intake, compression, power (combustion), and exhaust - required to complete one full rotation of the crankshaft. In a two-stroke engine, there are two strokes - compression/ignition and exhaust - needed to complete one rotation.
one rotation
Yes, if by "720 degrees of crankshaft rotation" you mean "two rotations" Here is a great animation of a four-stroke at work: http://www.animatedengines.com/otto.shtml

Looking at the front of the engine. The engine/ crankshaft will turn clowkwise.
The four-stroke engine produces 1 power stroke for every 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation.
The crankshaft makes two complete revolutions to complete one thermodynamic cycle. The crankshaft rotates 180 degrees during each stroke of the engine. Hence a total of two revolutions occur after completion of the four strokes. Chechout "www.howstuffworks.com " to see how crankshaft works.
