2. Sidereal time - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_time

   The March equinox itself precesses slowly westward relative to the fixed stars, completing one revolution in about 25,800 years, so the misnamed "sidereal" day ("sidereal" is derived from the Latin sidus meaning "star") is 0.0084 seconds shorter than the stellar day, Earth's actual period of rotation relative to the fixed stars.

4. File:Sidereal Day versus Solar Day.webm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sidereal_Day_versus...

   English: Earth physically rotates in 23hours 56min relative to distant stars – a Sidereal Day, BUT it takes 24hours to rotate relative to the Sun – a Solar Day The difference? Earth orbits the Sun, so the Sun appears to move (down, in the vid), which means Earth needs +4mins to catch up!

6. Diurnal motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diurnal_motion

   The time for one complete rotation is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds – one sidereal day. The first experimental demonstration of this motion was conducted by Léon Foucault. Because Earth orbits the Sun once a year, the sidereal time at any given place and time will gain about four minutes against local civil time, every 24 hours ...

7. Astronomical day - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_day

   The exact length has been variously defined as either that of a solar day or of a sidereal day. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Astronomical days were historically used by astronomers (in contrast most commonly to solar days), but since the Industrial Revolution this usage has generally fallen out of favor, in order to avoid confusion with more conventional ...

8. Synodic day - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synodic_day

   A synodic day (or synodic rotation period or solar day) is the period for a celestial object to rotate once in relation to the star it is orbiting, and is the basis of solar time. The synodic day is distinguished from the sidereal day, which is one complete rotation in relation to distant stars [1] and is the basis of sidereal time.
