a) for the angular speed of earth
angular speed of earth = total angle/total time taken
angular speed of earth = 1 / ( 24 60 ) r p m
angular speed of earth = 6.94 10 4 r p m
b) for the earth around the sun
angular speed of earth = total angle/total time taken
angular speed of earth = 1 / ( 24 60 365 )
angular speed of earth = 1.903 10 6 r p m
