1 spin = 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 minutes
1 spin = 360 degrees
1,440 minutes/360 degrees = 4 minutes/degree
-- Each degree of latitude, anywhere on Earth, is about 69 miles in a north or south direction. -- Each degree of longitude covers a different distance, depending on the latitude. At the poles, any number of degrees of longitude cover zero distance.
Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.
There are 360 meridians of longitude because it is a convenient way to divide the Earth's surface into equal sections. Each meridian represents one degree of longitude, and there are 360 degrees in a circle. This system allows for easy navigation and measurement of distances on Earth.
The earth is divided into 360 degrees longitude.
20 minutes. The Earth rotates 360 degrees every 24 hours. So it rotates 15 degrees every hour, so 5 degrees is 1/3 hours or 20 minutes.
Longitude lines are the North/South lines that separate the earth in 15 degree sections. They are used for navigation.

It's 1/360 of a complete circle of longitude or latitude.
Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.
A full circle around the globe is 360 degrees. This measurement is based on the Earth's latitude and longitude system, where the equator is at 0 degrees latitude and the poles are at 90 degrees north and south. Each degree of longitude represents a segment of the Earth's circumference, with 360 lines of longitude running from pole to pole.
Roughly 4 minutes.

That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.
The earth is divided into 360 degrees longitude.
Each degree of latitude and longitude on Earth is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds. This means that there are a total of 3600 seconds in one degree.
Degrees longitude. The intervals divided this way are the time zones.
