The movement of a planet around the sun?
The name of the path a planet occupies in its movement around the Sun is called an orbit. The shape of the path is an ellipse, with the Sun at the focus. Due to the inverse-square rule of gravity, the speed of movement is greater in orbits closer to the sun, slower for more distant orbits.
What are the similarities between rotation and revolution?
well the difference is rotation is around an axis in the center of a body. revolution is the movement of a body around an axis outside of the body ( earth is the body then the sun is the axis.

How can a single body have multiple motions?
Basically, a body can only have one motion at a time. However:* The movement can change over time. * This motion can be expressed as the sum of other motions, for example, movement along the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis. * If the object is rotating, it's usually convenient to express the movement as a combination of linear movement (of the center of mass) and of a rotation.
