Re: Given a chance

I quote from the Wikipedia:

"An apparent sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to turn 360
degrees in its rotation; more precisely, is the time it takes a typical star
to make two successive upper meridian transits. This is slightly shorter
than a solar day. There are 366.2422 sidereal days in a tropical year, but
365.2422 solar days, resulting in a sidereal day of 86,164.091 seconds (or:
23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.091 seconds).

The reason there is one more sidereal day than "normal" days in a year is
that the Earth's orbit around the Sun offsets one sidereal day, giving
observers on Earth 365 1/4 days, even though the planet itself rotated 366
1/4 times (the Earth rotates in the same direction around its axis as it
does around the Sun: seen from the northern sky, counter-clockwise)."



Is there anything untrue about the above in your view?
