A Solar day is 24 hours, and is the time it takes for the Sun to "return" to the same point in the sky.
A Sidereal day is 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds, and is the time it takes for a distant star to reappear at the same point in the sky.

For a day we usually use 24 hours but the actual amount of time it takes for a day to go by is slightly less. 23.934 hours, or roughly 23 hours and 56 minutes.
