How far does the earth spin a day?

0

Once you take into account the fact that the Earth is also orbiting around the Sun, everything adds up to 24 hours. The location of the background stars move about 1°/day (or a Sun or Moon diameter every 12 hours) eastward. Since a circle has 360°, this works out almost perfectly for the 365 days of the year.
