Answer:

The difference between rotations and revolutions is , 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

While rotation means spinning around its own axis, revolution means to move around another object. Taking the example of the Earth, which rotates 366 times to complete one revolution around the Sun.
