Revolution is time for round round the sun. 365 days and 6 hours in earth is called a year, that means it completed one revolution. The 6 hours is counted 24 hours that means 1 day in 4 years called a leap year. That one day is added to February as 29 days.

Answer 2

Rotation and revolution have specific meanings in an astronomical context. Rotation refers to axial spin (the planet's day) and revolution refers to the orbit, e.g., around the Sun (the planet's year).

Answer 3

Answer 4

A planet rotation is the spinning on a planet on its axis. A revolution of a planet is its time to fully orbit around the Sun

Answer 5

Revolution period is the time taken for planet to orbit the Sun once.
