The stars all rotate about an imaginary axis line that goes through the poles of the earth. From our veiw point, the fixed stars will move across the sky, corresponding to this spin. The polaris star is almost on this imaginary axis line - if you were to carry on extending it out to this star.

The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
What appears to revolve around Polaris due to earth's rotation?
Due to the vast distance between the earth and polaris, the earths axis of rotation essentially lines up with polaris at all times, so when the stars are visible, and viewed from the north pole, the earths rotation causes the stars to appear to rotate around polaris.
What causes the circumpolar stars to appear to move around polaris?
The apparent daily movement of the stars in the sky is a reflection of Earth's rotation. Earth rotates around its axis; as a reflection of this, the entire sky rotates around an "axis", which is simply the extension of Earth's axis. By chance, the star Polaris is almost exactly on the line of the Earth's axis, extended into space. So, as the Earth rotates the stars appear to rotate around Polaris. Circumpolar stars never go below the observer's horizon, so they just seem to go in circles around Polaris.

How is Earth's rotation differ from its revolution?
Earth's revolution is the complete orbit around the Sun , it takes nearly 366 days for Earth to complete one complete revolution around the Sun. Earth's revolution causes the changes of seasons. Earth's rotation is the rotation of Earth about its axis (axis tilt of 23.4o).it takes 23 hours and 56 minutes.Earth's rotation causes day and night.
