The term "day" applies to the duration of one rotation of the planet on its own axis. The Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours. The rotational motion is attributed to the intrinsic angular momentum of the body, acquired during its formation.
By contrast, a year would be the duration of one orbit of the planet around the Sun.
