The Earth rotates once every 24 hours on its axis (once per day) and revolves around the sun every 365 and 1/4 days (a year).

When it is said the the earth rotates, it is meant that the earth is spinning on its axis, which is what causes day and night. However, a revolution is the earth going once around the sun, which is what causes the change of seasons and year.
