What are Day sidereal and Octennial

A sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation with respect to the background stars, which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. Unlike a solar day, which is based on the sun's position in the sky, the sidereal day is measured by the Earth's rotation relative to distant celestial objects.

An octennial is a period consisting of eight years. The term is derived from 'octo', meaning eight, and 'ennial', relating to years. It is not a standard time measurement unit but may be used in specific contexts, such as planning, to represent a cycle or period of eight years.
