Days are approximately 24 hours long because it takes the Earth about 24 hours to complete one full rotation on its axis relative to the Sun. This rotation creates the cycle of day and night. The 24-hour division is a result of historical timekeeping practices, originally based on the ancient Egyptians' use of sundials. Over time, this system was standardized and adopted globally.
