Answer 2

Answer:

The earth takes 24 hours to make one rotation, which is 360° of longitudes.

One complete 360°-rotation takes:

23 hrs 56 min and 4 sec

Divide this by 360° =>

82800 + 3360 + 4 / 360 = 239,34 sec. per degree.

= a little less than 4 minutes

Why not exactly 24 hours/rotation and thus exactly 4 minutes/degree?

A full day—from noon to noon or midnight to midnight—takes a little more than a single 360 degree rotation of our planet. During the course of a day, the Earth also moves along its orbit around the Sun which means that our orientation with respect to the Sun changes a little. Because of this we need about 4 minutes extra every day to catch up with this change in orientation. If we wouldn’t, noon would gradually shift from midday to midnight over the course of about 6 months, and to midday again during the next 6 months.
