Does '' stand for feet in measurement?

What is the unit used to measure angels and temperature?
Degrees is the measure for angles and temperature. "Degree" can apply to many things other than angles and temperature. In fact, a degree of angles is quite different from a degree of temperature. You might say more exactly that there are degrees F, degrees C, and degrees K acting as units of temperature measurements, in fact. Also more precisely, you might say that there are 'degrees of arc' as the unit measure of angles. But then, so are 'minutes' and 'seconds' a measure of arc - smaller units of a degree.
What is the conversion of Time Units and Arc Units?
Arc units are measured in Degrees with seconds. A conversion to Time would be: 0 min 4 seconds = 0 degrees 1 second 0 min 4 sec = 0o 01' Simplified then would be for every 4 seconds of time you would gain one second of a degree of arc.
How long is 666 mins?

How long does it take the earth to rotate one degree?
It takes 24 hours to rotate 360 degrees so it takes one 360th of 24 hours to go through one degree. 4 minutes. It takes the earth 4 minutes to rotate one degree, since it takes 24 x 60 minutes to rotate 360 degrees. 24hrs. x 60 min/hr.= 1440 minutes/360 degrees. 1440 divided by 360 = 4 minutes/1 degree.
How many Arc-minutes are there in half a degree?
