what is meant by 'earth takes 4 minutes to rotate through 1 degree??​

Answer 1

Answer:

well...i dunno too much abt it, but i'll just try

Explanation:

earth rotates,but how much you move it in one rotation is what is explained here..like...if you are rotating an apple,before completing a rotation you will move it to do so..isnt it?

so here,it is telling that how much the earth moves to complete one rotation.

so it takes 4 minutes to rotate 1 degree

hope it helps cuz this is all i know :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Each day the earth rotates on its own axis once. so,

In 24 hrs. earth rotates 360degrees

in 1 hr. it will rotate360/24=15 degrees

so in 60 min. it rotates 15 degrees

In 60/15 min it will rotate 15/15 degrees

so, in 4 minute it will rotate 1 degree
