Mean solar day is the time interval between two successive noon when sun passes through zenith point (meridian). Sidereal day is the time interval between two successive transit of a distant star through the zenith point (meridian). By drawing appropriate diagram showing the earth's spin and orbital motion, show that mean solar day is $4\,\min$ longer than the sidereal day. In other words, distant stars would rise $4\,\min$ early every successive day
