Why does Earth revolve around the sun?

Earth revolves around the sun due to the force of gravity. The sun's gravitational pull keeps Earth in its orbit, causing it to move in a circular path around the sun. This motion is what we perceive as Earth's revolution around the sun.

Does orbit or revolve mean to circle around or go around?

Sometimes we confuse the terms revolve, rotate, and orbit. They have specific meanings in astronomy. Revolve usually means to orbit around. The earth revolves around the sun, and completes one revolution in one year. So an orbitdescribes how a planet revolves around its sun. The turning of a planet on its axis is called rotation. The earth's rotation causes night and day. Orbit means the path or trajectory of a revolving body around another - a moon about a planet or that planet about the sun. To rotate means to spin around on an axis, like a top. You may find instances where 'revolve' is used to describe axial rotation, but in most cases the reference is made clear, as in "the earth revolves about its axis once per day". From the WikiPedia article on "Planets": "All planets revolve around stars. In the Solar System, all the planets orbit in the same direction as the Sun rotates. It is not yet known whether all extrasolar planets follow this pattern. The period of one revolution of a planet's orbit is known as its sidereal period or year."

What is a scientific theory about how objects move in space?

The reason object move around space is inertia. Take the moon and Earth for example, gravity makes the moon stay close to the Earth, and inertia makes the moon circle (or revolve, or orbit) around the Earth in a circular motion. the path it takes is called its orbit.
