This article could really be helped with a simplified explanation. Is the text trying to express, that in the orbit of a year, one (daily) rotation of the Earth is lost? But it seems to me, for this to be true the Earth's rotation would have to be retrograde, and yet it is prograde. Maybe a simple diagram could help to illustrate the concept to non-astrogeologists?
