One rotation by the Earth round its axis to bring the 'mean Sun' back to the meridian defines one day.
The mean Sun is a Sun which comes to the meridian regularly once a day. In practice the real Sun can be fast or slow by up to 10 minutes, so the mean Sun is a fictitious sun for which those daily variations are averaged out over a year.
The rotation of the Earth. :)
A. rotation of the earth
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
The rotation of the earth causes night and day.
How long it spins on it's axis
WELL THE LENGTH OF THE DAY IS RELATED TO THE Rotation AND REVOLUTION OF THE PLANET BECAUSE THE PLANET HAS LENGTH BUT IT MIGHT NOT HAVE THE SAME THING AS OUR LENGTH AND IT HAS THE SAME ROTATION AND REVOLUTION.WHAT DO YOU YOUNG GUYS AND LADIES THINK ABOUT MY ANSWER ?PLEASE COMMENT ON IT I WILL APPROACHED THAT BY.
The actual length of a day is 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds
the time it takes the earth to spin around on its axis
It is the rotation of the planet one complete revolution that determines the length of a day.
the tilt of the planet
the length of day on earth is 24 hours
The length of night and day depends on how fast a body like Earth is spinning. Of curse, the body's tilt with respect to its star - Sun in Earth's case - continually alters the lengths of days and nights according to the 4 seasons.
