Answer:

Revolution refers to movement around another object whereas rotation refers to the spinning of an object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Revolution is defined as the movement of one object around another object whereas rotation is defined as the spinning of an object about its own axis. In revolution the object moves from one place to another around another object while on the other hand, in rotation the object does not moves from one place to another but rotates at one place.
