Detailed explanation-1: -The time it takes Earth to rotate so the sun appears in the same position in the sky, known as a solar day, is 24 hours. However, the time it takes Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis with respect to distant stars is actually 23 hours 56 minutes 4.091 seconds, known as a sidereal … day.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each day, the Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis.
