Answer:
The earth takes 24 h to rotate once about its axis. The sun take 4 minutes to shift by 1° when viewed from the earth.
Explanation:
We know the earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation around its axis and 365 days to complete one revolution around the sun. By the time the earth completes a rotation, it moves about 1° on its orbit. The position of a star though fixed but with respect to the position of the sun, the position of the star shifts by 1°. Now, for a complete rotation (360°), the earth takes 24 hours.
Time taken for 360° shift = 24 h
Time taken for 1° shift = 24/360 h = 4 min

Answer:
4 min.
Explanation:
Time taken for 360∘ shift = 24 h
Time taken for 1∘ shift = 24/360
h = 4 min.
