What?

One mean solar day is exactly 24 hours long. That is the length of a day measured by the Sun. A sidereal day is 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds long. That is the length of a day measured by the stars.
The two days are different because the Earth is orbiting the Sun and the Earth moves 1/365th of the way, or about 1 degree, around the Sun each day, requiring it to turn 361 degrees instead of 360 degrees to complete one solar day, the time from one high noon to the next.
