The earth rotates once each day, 365 times in 365 days, and 366 times
in 366 days when we add a leap day to the calendar year (not to be
confused with a real year).

No, this is what oriel36 asserts himself and is incorrect. (He actually
has no problem understanding the leap year cycle, quoting ad nauseam
from the ancent Egyptians and other historic sources on the topic.)

OED
day n. ...corresponding to a rotation of the earth on its axis.

The earth rotates once each day *relative to the sun*

The earth rotates once each day on its axis. That is the definition of a
day. Thus it rotates once per day, or a million times in a million days
because one rotation *is* one day.
