What is the difference between a planet's rotation and a planet's revolution?
Earth rotates on its axis and it revolves around the sun. Both things conserve earth's angular momentum. Each rotation is a day, and each solar revolution is a year. The days and years both help us mark the passage of time. Other than that, there are not too many similarities.

What are the two movement of the planets?
orbit and rotation there is also a wobble or tilt that can fluctuate
How is revolution and rotation of planets the same?
