The Otto cycle, know as the four stroke cycle is as follows.
Induction
Compression
Power
Exhaust
This is a simplified explanation of a petrol engine, the basic details are correct. Most are also relevant to a CI engine. It is not meant to be a definitive answer and is only a description for the basic operation.
Induction:
The inlet valve opens and the piston moves down the cylinder causing a partial vacuum and drawing an air/fuel mixture into the cylinder through the inlet manifold.
Compression:
The inlet valve closes and the piston moves up the cylinder compressing the air/fuel mixture. The compression ratios vary.
Power:
Near the top of the compression stroke a spark is induced and the air/fuel mixture is ignited. This causes the gasses to expand rapidly and forces the piston down the cylinder.
Exhaust:
The exhaust valve opens and the piston moves up the cylinder expelling the burnt gasses out through the exhaust manifold. The exhaust valve closes and the cycle starts again.
A 4 stroke engine takes 4 strokes to complete a cycle. 1, intake. 2, compression. 3, ignition/power. 4, exhaust.
In a four-stroke engine, it takes 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation to complete one full engine cycle, as the cycle consists of four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. Each stroke corresponds to 180 degrees of rotation. In contrast, a two-stroke engine completes a cycle in just 360 degrees of crankshaft rotation, encompassing both the power and exhaust strokes in a single revolution.
In a 4-stroke engine, one complete engine cycle consists of four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. This cycle requires two full rotations of the crankshaft, which equals 720 degrees of crankshaft rotation. Each stroke corresponds to 180 degrees of crankshaft movement, collectively completing the cycle.
There is no such thing as a heat power cycle in a steam engine.The power stroke, or strokes, result from pressurised steam being let into the cylinder and moving the piston.

A 4 stroke engine takes 4 strokes to complete a cycle. 1, intake. 2, compression. 3, ignition/power. 4, exhaust.
A four stroke engine has 4 strokes per cycle, whereas the two stroke engine has only 2 strokes per cycle. Since the 2 stroke engine has twice as many power strokes as a 4 stroke engine at a given rpm, the 2 stroke is capable of making nearly twice the power of a 4 stroke for a given displacement.

Cycle means the number of piston strokes for a complete cycle. 2 stroke= 2 cycle.

In a two-stroke engine, two strokes is one cycle. In a four stroke engine, four strokes is one complete cycle. A stroke is a part of a cycle. Remember that the "up" motion and the "down" motion each count as one stroke.
In a four-cycle engine, strokes refer to the four movements of the piston during the combustion process: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. These strokes work together to convert fuel into mechanical energy that powers the vehicle or machinery.

The four strokes are... Intake, Compression, Combustion, Exhaust.
There is no oil resivoir holding oil that weighs around 1.7 pounds per quart. A 2 cycle engine also does not have valves which a 4 cycle does. All this makes the 2 cycle engine simpliar and lighter.
Intake, Compression, Power and Exhaust
It takes two revolutions of the crankshaft to complete the cycle of a 4-stroke cycle engine. Each revolution includes the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes of the engine.
