The word "rotation" is used when something turns around its own axis - which is inside the object. In the case of Earth, this happens once a day (more precisely, every 23h 56m).
The word "revolution" is used when an object goes around another object. In the case of the Earth, the other object would be the Sun; it takes Earth a year to go around once.
