Question

The earth takes 24 hours to rotate once about its axis. How much time does the sun take to shift by when viewed from the earth?

Answer 1

Answer:

Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past.
