All right, so we have 24 hours in a day, but the time it takes the earth to complete one rotation is actually 23 hours, 56 minutes and change. In other words, every day we take about an extra 4 minutes than what it takes for the earth to rotate one time. We make up for this by having an extra day every four years (Leap Year).
Here's my question: If we are starting each day about 4 minutes later than the day before, wouldn't we come to a point where the sun would be rising at what we viewed as the middle of the night?
