EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to other distant stars (see below).

Detailed explanation-2: -The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40, 075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second–or roughly 1, 000 miles per hour.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Well, not exactly… The earth actual rotates 360 degrees in 4 minutes less than 24 hours. The reason for this effect is that the Earth is moving one degree each day in its orbit around the Sun. The Earth has to rotate 361 degrees between noon on one day to noon on the next day.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which motion occurs at a rate of approximately one degree per day? Earth revolving around the sun.

Detailed explanation-5: -Earth takes 365 days, 6 hours, and 9 minutes to complete one revolution around Sun. Earth’s revolution speed is 30 km / s .
