What does one earth axis equal to in time?

One complete rotation of the Earth on its axis relative to the Sun, known as a solar day, equals approximately 24 hours. However, the Earth also rotates on its axis relative to distant stars, which takes about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, a measurement known as a sidereal day. The difference arises because the Earth is also orbiting the Sun as it rotates.
