The Earth does both.!!!!

The Earth rotates on a daily basis, to give us night and day.

The Earth revolves/orbits on a yearly basis around the Sun ,to give us a year.

Our natural satellite, the Moon, also rotates, but much more slowly. It rotates once every 28 Earth days. So such is astronomy we have only ever seen 61% of the Moon's surface until spaceships were able to orbit the Moon.

The Moon also revolves around the Sun , it partners Earth on its annual revolution about the Sun.
