Best Answer

Both rotate and revolve because of gravity. Rotations occur because of the center of gravity (which is why you have a better balance low to the ground). Revolving occurs because, in the Moon's case, Earth has a larger mass and pulls the Moon around it. The sun doesn't revolve, it stays still.
