The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation.
when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles

How can gravity be simulated in an orbiting space ship?
By rotation.
Spinning of a planet?
To stay up in space. Gravity.
What direction does the International Space Station travel?
counter to the earth's rotation Exactly wrong..........it travels WITH the Earths rotation.....eastwards
Facts about rotation and revolution?
rotation is the spin of a body on its axis and revolution is the motion of a body that travels around another body in space;one complete trip along an orbit
What is the direction of Pluto's rotation?
I'm not sure how to explain directions in space since they are all relative to something else. This is about the best I can do. If you mean Pluto's rotation around the Sun it orbits in the same direction as the Earth which is also the same as the Sun's rotation on its axis. If you mean Pluto's rotation on its axis it's opposite the rotation of the Earth and Sun on their axes.
What is the rotation of the space station?

Does the Earth's rotation affect a space shuttle launch?
Yes. It is harder for a Space Shuttle to break through the Earth's atmosphere when it's going against the rotation of Earth.
