The solar day is affected by the Equation of Time.

Stellar circumpolar motion is not.

The Equation of Time is the result of the Earth's orbital motion. So it means
that the solar day is a compound motion, combining the Earth's rotation with the
Earth's orbital motion, not a simple one - just as the apparent motion of the
planets, with their retrogrades, is a compound motion, combining their own
orbital motion around the Sun with the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun.

So you're the one who is being stubbornly geocentric and non-Copernican with
this issue.
