> to again "point at the sun" (perhaps surprising to some NOT a full "360 degree" rotation It's actually more than a 360 degree rotation because the earth rotates in the same sense that it revolves. So the sidereal day (1 earth rotation in physics sense) is ~ 23h 56m, and the 24 hour period is over-rotation to bring the sun back into same position, and that's more than 360 degrees of rotation.
