You may say the time it takes for Earth to make one full rotation is 24 hours... but you'd be slightly off. It takes 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds. That's when the stars to return to their same place in our sky. This is known as a 'Sidereal Day.' https://t.co/8UpbWCCAXz — PolitiTweet.org

It takes slightly longer for the Sun to return to its same position in our sky, thus the 24 hours... but even still, this is just an average. Our orbit of the Sun varies in its distance from the gaseous body, meaning the length of a day shifts throughout the year (up to 14 mins!) https://t.co/TEjMqwyby5 — PolitiTweet.org
