IT IS SCIENCE NOT SOCIAL STUDIES, IT DIDN'T HAVE SCIENCE. I JUST WANTED TO TELL SO YOU DON'T THINK IT IS SOCIAL STUDIES. Which time period is closer to the scientific meaning of a day —— the time period between sunrise and sunset or the 24-hour time period between one sunrise and the next sunrise?

Answer:

the 24-hour time period

Step-by-step explanation:

A day can be determined in many ways, but the most correct and comprehensive way is to state that one day corresponds to the 24-hour period between sunrise and sunset. A day can also be defined as the period of time when sunlight is visible, that is, the period when one side of the earth is completely facing the sun.
