When an object turns around an internal axis it is called a rotation.
When an object circles an external axis it is called a revolution.

the difference between rotations and revolutions. When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.
