Explaining observations like these requires building up a picture of
the motions behind it but sadly in this era,even when you can see
sunrise from space and a rotating Earth as the cause,the dominant view
is that there are 1465 rotations in 1461 days hence any explanations
you may receive are simply assertions without substance.

The wandering Sun crowd would have you believe that they can explain
that particular conceptual monster even though there are 1461 natural
noon cycles covering 4 circuits of the Earth,so that from Mar 1st 2010
until Feb 28th 2011 there will be 365 natural noon cycles and from
Mar1st 2011 until Feb 29th 2012 there are 366 natural noon cycles and
these guys will drive themselves silly trying to fit the analemma into
the human format which overlays the natural proportion of 1461 daily
rotations for 4 orbital circuits.

Ask a simple question,if you set aside the daily rotation of the
Earth,would the Earth keep the same face to the Sun as the moon does
to the Earth or would it rotate once over the course of a year.The
answer is at the North/South poles where rotation is to all intents
and purposes entirely absent.Then you will start to get a picture of
the answer you seek.It is,in fact,a great puzzle for anyone and hasn't
been developed in any detailed way so good luck to you is you feel you
can take on a way to come to an enjoyable conclusion.
