With regard to astronomical objects, 'revolution' normally means one body's

process of traveling in a gravitational orbit around another one.

Examples:

-- revolution of the planets, including the Earth, around the sun

-- revolution of the natural satellites, including Earth's moon, around their respective planets

-- revolution of the artificial satellites, including the International Space Station and the

TV, GPS, and weather satellites, around the Earth

Revolution is the period a planet takes to orbit around the Sun or star. It is what we call a year.

A moon will revolve it's parent planet. Our Sun - and the Solar System, revolve around the galactic centre.

Not to be confused with rotation, which is the period a moon, planet or star takes to "spin" once on it's axis.

"Revolation" isn't a word (at least, it's not an English word), so I'm going to try to guess what you might have meant.

The Earth both revolves (around the Sun, with a period of about 365.25 days) and rotates (around its own axis of rotation, with a period of about 23 hours 56 minutes relative to the distant stars or 24 hours exactly with respect to the Sun). It also precesses (changes its axial tilt) with a period of about 23,000 years, and there are some other smaller motions.

It means it turns around another object. The Earth moves (revolves) around the Sun, and the Solar system, including Earth and Sun, move around the center of the Milky Way.
