Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diagram shows the Earth's rotation around its axis and the difference between solar time (24 hours) and sidereal time (23 hours and 56 minutes) due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. It does not explain precession, the relation between the solar day and the Moon, the sidereal day's relation to the seasons, or the reason for the solstices.
