It is the 24 hour period, for planet Earth.

An hour is 60 minutes

and 1 minute equals 60 seconds.

24 hours is called the "solar day". It depends on the Sun's position in the sky.

There are other definitions of "day"

The "sidereal day" is equal to the Earth's rotation period.

That's about 4 minutes less than the solar day.

That's because the solar day depends on the Earth's motion around the Sun as well as Earth's rotation.

Other planets have their own day lengths.
