Answer:
The Sidereal Day is 4 minutes shorter than the Mean Solar Day, because the rotation of the Earth on its axis, and the orbiting of the Earth around the Sun, are both counterclockwise, as viewed from above (or north of) the Ecliptic Plane. See planetary retrograde motion for an example of the opposite situation.
