Detailed explanation-1: -Each day, the Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis.
Detailed explanation-2: –Rotation takes around 24 hours.-Revolution takes 365 days and 6 hours.-Days and nights occur due to rotation of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth rotates at 15° each hour so to rotate through 30° degrees would take 2 hours. Using a division equation again, you can also figure out how many minutes it takes for the earth to spin 1 degree: 60 minutes divided by 15 degrees = 4 minutes per degree.
