Does the four-stroke engine produces 1 power stroke for every 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation?

A four-stroke engine produces one power stroke for every 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation, but not continuously. The four strokes of an engine are:

1. Intake stroke: The piston moves down the cylinder, drawing in air and fuel.

2. Compression stroke: The piston moves up the cylinder, compressing the air and fuel.

3. Power stroke: The spark plug ignites the air and fuel mixture, causing it to burn and expand, driving the piston down the cylinder.

4. Exhaust stroke: The piston moves up the cylinder, expelling the burnt gases from the cylinder.

Thus, the engine produces one power stroke for every two complete revolutions of the crankshaft.
