https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_time
Earth makes one rotation around its axis in a sidereal day; during that time it moves a short distance (about 1°) along its orbit around the Sun. So after a sidereal day has passed, Earth still needs to rotate slightly more before the Sun reaches local noon according to solar time. A mean solar day is, therefore, nearly 4 minutes longer than a sidereal day.
So yeah. If you were in a highly elliptical orbit around something really massive, your solar day could change by a lot.
