Each day the earth rotates on its own axis once. That is what a day is!
so
In 24 hours the Earth rotates 360 degrees (of longitude)
So in 1 hour it must rotate 360/24=15 degrees
that is, in 60 minutes it rotates 15 degrees
so in 60/15minutes it will rotate 15/15 degrees
that is
in 4 minutes it will rotate 1 degrees
SEE
This is why time and degrees are BOTH split into minutes and seconds.
Hours, minutes and seconds of time are directly related to the degrees, minutes and seconds that the Earth has rotated.
I think that this is really COOL!!!!!
Makes sense.....
360 degrees*4 minutes = 1440 minutes = 24 hrs = 1 rotation = 360 degees
Tonight, who do u think will win in each of the games?
Auburn vs. Georgia
LSU vs. Arkansas
Auburn MUST WIN!!!! War Eagle!
