The Sidereal Period is:

1) The period of revolution of one body around another, with respect to the distant stars.

2) The period of rotation of a body on its axis, with respect to the distant stars.

This is often called the "sidereal period of rotation".

For example, the Earth's sidereal period of rotation is about

23 hours and 56 minutes.

The day is 24 hours because it's based on the rotation of the Earth relative to the position of the Sun in the sky.
