    I think Rotation is a circular motion, and revolution is how many times it rotates.
    360 degrees of circular motion equals 1 revolution?
    A College person may have a different answer.

    When you rotate, you stand in one place and turn around and around in a tight circle. The earth rotates (spins around) on its axis.

    When you revolve, you go around something, like your house or a car. The earth revolves around the sun.
