Our 24-hour day is approximately the time that it takes for the Earth to spin around once, from noon to noon. Becuase the Earth's orbit is an ellipse (rather than a circle), the actual duration of a "solar day" isn't the same from day to day; the "noon" position of the Sun in the sky actually describes a figure-eight path called an "analemma".
The actual time that it takes for the Earth to spin 360 degrees - one full turn - is 23 hours 56 minutes, which is the "sidereal day" with respect to the fixed stars.
