An orbit is essentially the motion of an object (be it a planet, a moon, a spacecraft) around a star, moon, or planet. A revolution is the movement of an object around an axis of rotation, or a centre, or another object. The earth revolves around the sun, but the earth is also in orbit around the sun.
