The revolution of a planet refers to the entire elliptical "race-track" path that it travels around the sun. Within our solar system, the time for the planets to complete one full revolution ranges from 88 Earth-days to 248 Earth-years. The time it takes for one of the Earth's revolutions around the sun is 1 year.
"Revolution" means orbiting around another body. A year is the time for a planet to complete one orbit around the Sun.
The period of a planet's revolution is the time that it takes to complete one revolution around its axis of rotation relative to the background stars (also known as rotation period).

Since Mercury is the closest planet, it travels around the sun in the shortest amount of time. A year on Mercury equals 88 days.
