How many degrees of longitude does the sun appear to move each hour if it move 360 in 24 hours?

The sun appears to move 15 degrees of longitude each hour if it moves 360 degrees in 24 hours. This is because there are 24 hours in a day, so dividing 360 degrees by 24 hours gives us 15 degrees per hour.


How many degrees do the stars appear to move around Polaris in 3 hours?

Stars appear to move around Polaris, the North Star, due to the Earth's rotation. In three hours, the Earth rotates approximately 45 degrees (360 degrees in 24 hours). Therefore, stars appear to move about 45 degrees around Polaris during that time.


If earth rotates every 24 hours how many degrees does the sun appear to move in one hour in four minutes?

Once, plus just a little bit more. The Earth actually rotates once in 23 hours 56 minutes. However, during that time the Earth continues to move in its orbit around the Sun, and it takes the Earth another 4 minutes worth of rotation to point back at the Sun again. The 23h 56m "sidereal" day is with reference to the stars, while the 24-hour "solar" day is with reference to the Sun.


Explain how time changes as you move east from the Prime Meridian?

As you move east from the Prime Meridian, time increases by one hour for every 15 degrees of longitude you cross. This is because Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, so each hour represents 15 degrees of longitude.


How many hours of daylight are expreienced between 66.5 degrees North 0 90 degress North on June 21?

On June 21, the summer solstice, locations between 66.5 degrees North (the Arctic Circle) and 90 degrees North (the North Pole) experience 24 hours of daylight. This phenomenon occurs because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during this time, resulting in continuous sunlight for regions within the Arctic Circle. As you move closer to the Pole, the duration of daylight remains constant at 24 hours.
