Full Rotation
A full rotation is 360 degrees
This is a "full rotation"
or "revolution"
or "complete turn"
or "full circle"
It means turning around until you point in the same direction again.

Note: RPM means "Revolutions Per Minute"
(how many full rotations every minute)
Other ways of saying it:
- "Doing a 360" means spinning around completely once (spinning around twice is a "720").
- "I gave the wheel one complete turn looking for holes"
- "It completed one cycle", meaning it went around exactly once.
- "It was spinning at 200 revolutions per minute" (but people usually say "RPM" instead of "revolutions per minute").
- "She went full circle on liking carrots". So maybe she originally liked carrots, then hated them, now she likes them again.
This image of a protractor shows that a full rotation is 360°
And Half a rotation is 180°, called a Straight Angle
And Quarter of a rotation is 90°, called a Right Angle
And a full rotation is also equal to 2π Radians, so here are some equivalent values:
1773, 9156, 9159, 9161, 9163, 9157, 9158, 9160, 9162, 9164
