Question

look at the image below. about how many hours pass as the earth rotates from the 3 position to the 4 position?1 hour6 hours12 hours24 hours

Explanation:

Step1: Identify rotation fraction

Earth completes a full 24-hour rotation (360°). From position 3 to 4 is $\frac{1}{4}$ of a full rotation.

Step2: Calculate time elapsed

Multiply fraction by total rotation time:
$\text{Time} = 24 \times \frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

6 hours
