"Sidereal" time is based on the stars.
The Earth actually turns 360 degrees in 23 hours, 56 minutes and a few seconds. So why do we say that a "day" is 24 hours?
Because in the 23 hours and 56 minutes that it takes the Earth to rotate once, the Earth has moved in its orbit so far that it takes another 4 minutes for the Earth to turn enough to point to the Sun again.

What is the app called that if you point it up to the sky it tells you what stars or planets that you are pointing at?

What is time based on the sun called?
Time based on the sun is called solar time. It is measured using the position of the sun in the sky.
What is it called were stars join up to make a picture?

What is starry time?
Starry time refers to a method of measuring time based on the position of celestial bodies, particularly stars. It contrasts with solar time, which is based on the sun's position in the sky. Starry time is often used in astronomy and navigation to account for the apparent motion of stars across the night sky, helping to determine longitude and celestial navigation. This concept highlights the importance of the stars in understanding time and space before the advent of modern timekeeping technologies.
What is it called when a forecast of a persons future based on a diagram of the planets and stars at a given moment?
