The answer is surprising. Historically, it is hard to avoid the fact that a day is defined by the apparent movement of the sun. However today, because there are measurable changes in the earth's movements, the day is regulated by extremely accurate clocks that keep time according to a defined and unchanging second. Cesium clocks (or perhaps an even more highly developed technology) are actually regulating our modern concept of day.
