What separates approximately with actually? Last time I checked with google is says 12 hours and 3 minutes each sunrise to sunrise a rotation.

Remember sunrise arrives 270 degrees longitude of a rotation from Greenwich Prime Meridian. International dateline sits at 180 degrees of rotation on the intellectual midnight of 24/7 recording history of current events each rotation forward now listed as 7 separate days a week.

• The Earth rotates 360° every 24 hours, which means it turns 15° per hour.
• If Greenwich (0° longitude) is the reference point, then 270° longitude is 18 hours ahead in rotational terms.
• However, sunrise doesn’t “arrive” at 270° longitude in any fixed sense—it depends on the observer’s location and the Earth’s rotation relative to the Sun.
• What’s true: solar noon (when the Sun is highest) occurs progressively later as you move westward from Greenwich. So 270° west of Greenwich (or 90° east) would be roughly 18 hours behind in solar time.

So, let's recap the Ignorance here...shall we.
