Yep. This stuff is surprisingly complicated, and thatโ€™s why we need to measure the day using a standardized unit instead of defining the unit with the day.

Incidentally, Wikipedia has a nice graph about the variation of the length of day. Itโ€™s surprisingly messy and pretty far from the ideals of antiquity.
