In one calendar year we rotate round the Sun once, plus we rotate 365 times around the Earth's axis (forget leap-years). Both rotations are in the same sense, which is anticlockwise as seen from the North.

So in that time - one year - we rotate a total of 366 times. The stars therefore appear to rotate round us 366 times in 365 days. That means the stars go round in less than 24 hours, actually it's once in 23 hours 56 minutes, and they appear to rise and set 4 minutes earlier each day.

How many minutes earlier do stars set each day?

Stars set roughly 4 minutes earlier each day due to Earth's rotation. This is because the Earth completes one full rotation about its axis every 24 hours, causing the apparent movement of the stars across the sky.
