Answer:

B. the stars to come back to the same positions in the sky.

Explanation:

In fact, the solar day is equivalent to more than a rotation, because when the point has turned completely, it is not, as it should, in the same position with respect to the Sun.

The reason for this is that while performing the rotation, the Earth simultaneously moved following its orbit around the Sun.

When the reference point completed its rotation, the Earth already moved almost 2,500,000 km., So that to see the Sun again it will be necessary to turn a little more.

Solar day is more than a rotation. The sidereal or sidereal day, commonly used by astronomers, is also based on the rotation of the Earth; but in this case a distant star is taken as a reference (sidereal comes from the Latin sidus which means "star").

<h3>What is mechanical energy?</h3>

Potential energy plus kinetic energy are combined to form mechanical energy. According to the principle of mechanical energy conservation, mechanical energy is constant in an isolated system when only conservative forces are acting on it. Potential energy increases when an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force. Kinetic energy also changes as an object's speed, not velocity, changes. However, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will always be present in real systems; however, if these forces are of minimal magnitude, mechanical energy changes little, making the idea of its conservation a reasonable approximation.
