24 hoursIf you divide 24 hours by 365 days, you'll see that you're left with about 4 minutes per day. In other words, the Earth rotates on its axis, but it's also orbiting around the Sun, so the Sun's position in the sky catches up by 4 minutes each day.

What is the difference between seasons and day and night?

Seasons refer to the long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns that occur over the course of a year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. Day and night, on the other hand, are the result of the Earth's rotation on its axis, causing different parts of the Earth to be exposed to sunlight or darkness at different times. Seasons are linked to the position of the Earth in its orbit around the sun, while day and night are related to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
