Why 360 degrees (360°) in a circle - why only 360° degrees?









360° of a circle









360° (360 degrees): How many of us know, why it should be only and always 360° while circumferencing a circle and not less or more.



Like, why it should not be just 1 degree or 1000 degree or - 20 degree or something else other than 360°.



It is because of the following reason:



Many of us know that Earth rotates around the Sun ☀ throughout the year.



Let us take Sun ☀ as a centre point of a circle and Earth as something which is circumferencing around the Sun ☀ (circumference of a circle).



If every degree is taken as a day (whole of one day and night). Thus if Earth takes 45 days, then it is 45 degrees. If Earth takes 90 days, then it is 90 degrees. For 180 days, it is 180 degrees. Similarly for 360 days, it is 360°.



WE SHOULD ALL BE AWARE THAT IN BHARATIYA (Indian) KAALAMAANA (calendar), it is 360 days an year and also we have 'adhika' maasa (Europeans say it as leap year) in every 32.5 months (that is 32.5*30 = 975, it is for about 975 days). (As per our Bharatiya Panchanga, there are 30 days in every maasa / month)





Thus with this we can understand that for one full rotation of the Earth, it takes 360 days.



That is a whole of one 360° of a circle. That's why our Bharatiya samskruti is so great.



Others have been known about this very recently, but Bharata vaasis (Indians) know about this since long long long (unknown) time ago itself.
