On it are placed together three hundred and sixty like pegs. They shake not in the least. According to that theory, the number is approximately 365 because of the apparent movement of the sun against the celestial sphere and that it was rounded to 360 for some of the mathematical reasons cited above. For many practical purposes, a degree is a small enough angle that whole degrees provide sufficient precision. When this is not the case, as in astronomy or for geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude), degree measurements may be written using decimal degrees, with the degree symbol behind the decimals; for example, 4. 875°

360: Three Sixty is a 1999 futuristic racing game for the PlayStation console, released in Europe, and was developed by Smart Dog and published by Cryo Interactive.

If the sun travels 360 degrees each year then it travels 4 360 degrees in four years, when the calendar is one day in error. The early Egyptian priests used 36 decanal hours per day, and then changed to 24 hours per day. The choice of 60 minutes per (equinoctial) hour gives the day 24 60 minutes. Note: 4 360 4 6 60 24 60. Thus the number of minutes in a day is equal to the number of degrees in four circles or the time it takes the calendar to approximately be one day in error. Additional nifty math can be found by playing with a 365 day calendar using the numbers 1440, 1460, and 1461.
