It takes almost 24 hours for the Earth to rotate once. But during this time, the Earth has moved slightly in its orbit, which is why it has to spin more (a full 24 hours) to get back to the same position facing the Sun (a "solar day")

The mean solar day, that is the average time it takes for the Sun to go from its highest point on a given day to its highest point the next day, is 24 hours. If you measure the time it takes a distant star to reach its highest point (the sidereal day), it is 86,164.091 seconds (or: 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.091 seconds). The difference is the apparent motion of the Sun, which is really caused by the Earth moving around it . Take those 4 minutes a day, each day for a year, and it adds up to one "extra" day, or spin.
