Some articles on solar, day, solar day, days:
Sidereal Time and Solar Time
... Solar time is measured by the apparent diurnal motion of the sun, and local noon in solar time is the moment when the sun is at its highest point in the sky (exactly due south or north depending on the ... The Earth makes a rotation around its axis in a sidereal day during that time it moves a short distance (about 1°) along its orbit around the sun ... So after a sidereal day has passed the Earth still needs to rotate a bit more before the sun reaches its highest point ...

Earth's Rotation - Rotation Period - Angular Speed
... ×10−5 radians per SI second (mean solar second) ... Multiplying by (180°/π radians)×(86,400 seconds/mean solar day) yields 360.9856°/mean solar day, indicating that Earth rotates more than 360° relative ... by multiplying by the number of sidereal days in one mean solar day, 1.002 350. 795, which yields the equatorial speed in mean solar hours given above of 1,674.4 km/h ...

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or solar:
“I look upon every day to be lost, in which I do not make a new acquaintance.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Senta: These boats, sir, what are they for?
Hamar: They are solar boats for Pharaoh to use after his death. They’re the means by which Pharaoh will journey across the skies with the sun, with the god Horus. Each day they will sail from east to west, and each night Pharaoh will return to the east by the river which runs underneath the earth.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
