The given statement is false. Choose the correct statement for the same.*The Earth spins 15° in 1 minute.

The statement "The Earth spins 15° in 1 minute" is generally correct. The Earth rotates 360° in approximately 24 hours, which can be calculated as follows:

1. Total Degrees Rotated in One Day: The Earth makes a complete rotation of 360°.
2. Time in Minutes Per Day: There are 24 hours in a day, and each hour has 60 minutes, resulting in: $24 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 1440 \text{ minutes}$
3. Degrees Rotated Per Minute: To find out how many degrees the Earth spins in one minute: $\frac{360°}{1440 \text{ minutes}} = 0.25° \text{ per minute}$

Thus, it spins only 0.25° per minute, contradicting the original statement.

Final Answer

The correct statement is: "The Earth spins 0.25° in 1 minute."
