Then this value is related to the corresponding change of the length of day Δτ (in milliseconds) as [citation needed] u ≈ 2.7 Δ τ . {\displaystyle u\approx 2.7\Delta \tau .} The annual component of the change of the length of day of Δ τ ≈ 0.34 ms corresponds then to a superrotation of u ≈ 0.9 m/s, and the semiannual component of Δ ...

In terms of Earth's rotation, the average day length is about 360.9856°. A day lasts for more than 360° of rotation because of the Earth's revolution around the Sun. With a full year being slightly more than 360 days, the Earth's daily orbit around the Sun is slightly less than 1°, so the day is slightly less than 361° of rotation.
Earth's rotation relative to the Sun causes the 24-hour day/night cycle. A diurnal cycle (or diel cycle) is any pattern that recurs every 24 hours as a result of one full rotation of the planet Earth around its axis. [1] Earth's rotation causes surface temperature fluctuations throughout the day and night, as well as weather changes throughout ...
Combining these two effects, the net acceleration (actually a deceleration) of the rotation of the Earth, or the change in the length of the mean solar day (LOD), is +1.7 ms/day/cy or +62 s/cy 2 or +46.5 ns/day 2. This matches the average rate derived from astronomical records over the past 27 centuries.

The length of the light and dark in each phase varies across the seasons due to the tilt of the earth around its axis. The photoperiod defines the length of the light, for example a summer day the length of light could be 16 hours while the dark is 8 hours, whereas a winter day the length of day could be 8 hours, whereas the dark is 16 hours.
