The elapsed time that was missing back in Joshua's day was 23 hours and 20 minutes .

Ten degrees is exactly 40 minutes!

Twenty-three hours and 20 minutes in Joshua, plus 40 minutes in Second Kings make the missing day in the universe!

There's only one problem with this. The rotation of the Earth...one day...is exactly 23 hours, 59 minutes and 56 seconds.

Not 24 hours.

That depends on what you consider "one day." Is it when the rotates around relative to the sun or to the stars? A solar day is 4 minutes longer than a sidereal day. A sidereal day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds.
