I believe that you are talking about the sidereal day. The earth is in orbit around the sun as well as spinning on axis. The earth dweller conventional day is related to sun position (e.g. noon to noon). It is not the same as a complete earth axis rotation relative to space. If the earth did not spin but still was in orbit around the sun, an earth dweller would get one day each year. A simple approximation of the difference can be found by dividing 24 hours by 365. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
