This is by mathematical convention.
You can submit your own convention and rewrite a book on circular geometry if you want, and define a circle with any number of degree. Say 1 Thur 1000 degree but once you define that you need to stay with it.
See my previous answer to similar Q? for more detail explanation.

sun takes 24 hours to complete 1 degree and almost 360 days complete 1 circle ( due to tiltment of earth it makes 365 days ).

Well, that is if we measure in degrees. There is a radian measure in which a circle is made up of 2 pi radians.

i assumes ancient astronomers approximately calculate the sun / earth go around the earth / sun one time in 360 days.
and 360 is easily factor-able number to calculate.so we continue the convention method.

because 360 is making a round shape
