Take a pendulum that is 10 meters off of the ground. As the Earth rotates, the pendulum will also rotate. Measure the time it takes for the pendulum to return to the exact spot. It equals 23 h 56 m 4 s.

How and why does a day measured with respect to the Sun differ from a day measured with respect to the stars?

The day measured by the stars (the sideal day) is about 4 minutes shorter than the day measured by the Sun (the solar day) because it takes 4 minutes for the Earth to rotate the extra amount required for the Sun to return to the same place in the sky. The extra 4 minutes is due to the fact that each day the Earth moves along in its orbit around the Sun.
