Measurement with a gyro yields 366.242199 earth rotations per year.
The same value can be obtained by sighting a bright circumpolar star
the two sticks for a full year.

Those are the undeniable physical observations, Gerald.

You still confuse "day/night cycles", which are approximately 361°
rotations from noon sun to noon sun with earth rotations (360°)
that are measured with respect to the "fixed" stars and the universe
as a whole.

Gyros do not lie, Gerald.
