Orbit is the path
It is an orbit.
Earth revolves around Sun. Or Earth orbits around the Sun. It means that Earth goes around the Sun (circles around the Sun if you want although the trajectory is not exactly a circle but an ellipse).
Rotation is defined as the spinning of an object around its own axis and revolution is defined as the spinning of an object around another body.Examples: When a bicycle wheel is let go, it rotates. It does not spin around another body.The Earth revolves around the Sun. It is moving around another body (The Sun). Hence the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Orbit
A moon is an object that revolves around a body larger than itself, typically a planet.
An orbit is the curved path followed by an object around a central body in space due to their gravitational interaction. It is the trajectory that an object, such as a planet or satellite, follows as it revolves around another object.
