The answer is shown below:

"The diurnal motion" of the stars is defined as the apparent daily motion of stars around the Earth. The cause for this "apparent motion of stars" was proposed by Heraclides (who was a Greek philosopher and astronomer). He afirmed that this was created by the Earth's rotation on its axis, which is completed in 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds.
