Essay 2 Keeping Time The length of the day is set by the earth’s rotation on its axis With some reservations! The Solar Day (not exactly 24 hours) The Sideral Day (23 hr 56 minutes) (Star Time) The Solar Day is 3’ 56” longer than the sidereal day The Earth’s Orbit is not circular The Mean Solar Day (average value of that interval over the year)
