Earth completes one full rotation in approximately 23 hours and 56 minutes (a sidereal day), but we experience a 24-hour solar day because Earth simultaneously orbits the Sun, requiring an additional rotation to face the Sun again each day.

A Day Isn’t 24 Hours 😳🌍 | Time ExplainedAdded:
You think a day is exactly 24 hours, but it's not. Earth actually completes one full rotation in about 23 hours and 56 minutes. So, why do we call it 24?
Because while Earth spins, it's also moving around the Sun. Each day it has to rotate a little extra just to face the Sun again. That small difference becomes the time you live by. So, what feels constant and precise is actually shaped by motion you never see.
