I'll make this simple for you.

I'll do the same and cut your verbiage.

.. the rotation of the
Earth is determined by a clock as 24 hours per 360 degrees.

We can test your hypothesis this weekend as "daylight
savings" ends: when everyone "put's the clock back",
if you are right the resulting tidal wave will inundate
us here in Europe.

.. the Earth does
not roll around the Sun ...

Still trying to take us back to Ptolemy Gerald?

The sidereal value of 23 hours 56 min is based on the axial rotation
of the Earth in 24 hours through 360 degrees,the pace of all clocks is
set by this rotation

Wrong, the 'pace of all clocks' is set equal to the
_combined_ effect of the rotation of the Earth and its
orbit around the Sun. 23 hours 56 min for its rotation
and the other 4 min comes from the 1 degree it has moved
along its orbit round the Sun.


Accept the sidereal value of 23 hours 56 min as the 'true ' rotation
of the Earth and Kepler's second law goes out the window and takes
Newton's gravitational laws with it.

Go ahead George,make the comparison and you will find you cannot have
your cozy 1 degree daily displacement.

Obviously you still cannot answer the question I set
you, "What time is it in figure 2?", but then you
never were much good with clocks:

Good luck.

Ha,ha,somebody fudged the data and tried to squeeze the Equation of
Time into the 24 hour astronomical day when the Equation of Time
defines the astronomical day by using the Sun as a reference for the
motions of the Earth,both axial rotation and orbital motion.Unless you
did'nt know the meridian alignment at noon when the Earth rotates to
face the Sun directly registers an unequal pace for each axial
rotation,the natural unequal day in other words.

The EoT equalises the distance covered in the Earth's orbital motion
as a reflection of Kepler's second law,the days are not unequal just
because the Earth has an elliptical orbit but also the variation in
the motion through that elliptical orbit.

It is a simple choice George,accept the sidereal value and its cozy 1
degree daily displacement using the Sun and Earth and say goodbye to
centuries of human achievement,you get your relativistic Earth rolling
around 'warped space' but manage to demolish Newton's gravitational
laws based on Kepler's planetary laws in the process.

This is not a taunt but you cannot make these graphics fit,one has to
be valid and the other can only be considered rubbish,your choice.
