The Earth rotates on its own axis every 23 hours 56 minutes. This is relative to the stars and therefore to the universe. Relative to the sun, the Earth takes a full 24 hours 0 minutes to turn. This is because after it has done one full revolution in 23 hours 56 minutes, it has also gone a little bit further along its path around the sun, so the sun appears to have moved slightly. The Earth has to spin for another four minutes to catch up.
