the star Sirius
the star Vega

Respuesta :

Answer:

Both stars Sirius and Vega are correct options

Explanation:

A sideral day passes when a star gives one full rotation of the earth about its axis so that the distant stars appear in the same position in the sky. Is the time it takes a star to return to its original position, therefore we can take both Sirius and Vega stars (and any other star) to measure the lenght of the sideral day, it doesn't matter which one as long as its measured correctly with the meridian or the point took as reference.
