Nearly always. However, in the same way that roughly every four years there is an additional day in a leap year, there is the need for "leap" seconds from time to time. The last leap second was added on 31 December 2008 so that day was 24 hours: 00 minutes :01 seconds long.

In addition, due to tidal friction, the earths rate of rotation is slowing, which means days are growing longer over time.
