To a nighttime observer on Earth, how many degrees do the stars appear to move around Polaris in 3 hours?

The correct answer is 45 degrees. 360 degrees is 24 hours, because it takes a whole day for the earth to turn in one whole circle. So, to find how many degrees the stars seem to move per hour, simply divide the total number of degrees by the total number of hours in a day: 360/24 = 15. Since the question is asking how much the stars appear to move in 3 hours, now multiply the number of degrees per hour times 3: 15 x 3 = 45.
