Best Answer

One day on Earth was originally the time between successive noons. Noon is the moment the Sun appears to cross the meridian.

The above definition is not totally satisfactory because the time between noons is sometimes a few minutes less or more than 24 hours. It varies according to the same pattern each year. Therefore the day is defined as the average time between noons, averaged over one year.
