The earths movement around the sun is called as revolution and the earth's motion within itself in its orbit is called as rotation.
when the earth rotates its spinning in circles -around and around- and when it revolves its moving around the sun so rotation is when something spins in circles

∙ 15y agoThe most common use of the term "rotation" in math is in geometry. It is a form of translation, which is motion. Rotation refers to spinning about an axis point and is measured in degrees, up to 360. It is often coupled with reflection to describe the motion of the object.

The motion of the planet moving around the sun is called the orbital period or period of revolution (once per year or 365.25 days for earth).

What does rotation mean in medical terms?
Rotation in medical terms refers to the movement of a body part around its axis. For example, rotation of the arm occurs when we turn our palm up or down. In anatomy, rotation also refers to the movement of a joint that allows a body part to move in a circular motion.
