How many degrees does the sun move per day relative to the fixed stars? how many days does it take for the sun to return to its original location relative to the fixed stars?

The sun moves about 1 degree to the east every (one earth) day relative to the stars. It takes the Sun one year (365.25 earth days) to make a full circle and return back to its original spot.
