One Earth rotation relative to a star besides the sun (often measured by Polaris), stellar time, takes approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. One Earth rotation relative to the vernal equinox (sidereal time) is takes approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. Earth's rotation relative to the sun's (Sol) apparent position in the sky (solar time) appears to change with the month, varying as much as 30 seconds.

How long is a day on the planet in your earth day?

To be exact the Earth day is not 24 hours it is 23 hours 56 minuets and 4 seconds. That's the Earth's rotation time. Yes, that's the length of the "sidereal day". However the length of the "solar day" IS exactly 24 hours. That's the time for the Sun to complete one apparent journey around the sky. Comment: That answer is for the Earth. Unfortunately, it's not clear which planet this question is about.
