Answer:

"Rotation" refers to an object's spinning motion about its own axis. "Revolution" refers the object's orbital motion around another object.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.
