To move in a circle around something is called revolving. To move around the same point is called rotation. To move around another stationary object is called orbiting. The earth rotates on its own axis while also orbiting around the sun.
The path that the planet follows is simply called the orbit. Orbit can mean 'to revolve around the sun' or it can be referred to as the path itself, e.g. 'Earth is following its orbit.'
Its means that if there is a planet, for example: Earth, The Earth is surrounded by the moon....so its actually means that a planet is surrounded by something else/A Planet
No, but the two are related. An orbit is the path taken by a planet around a star (or by a satellite around a planet). A revolution is the amount of time it takes said planet or satellite to complete that orbit once. Think of revolution as time, and orbit as place.
Halley's Comet does not rotate, but perhaps you mean revolve, as in how long it takes to revolve around the sun.If that is what you mean, then the revolutionary period of Halley's Comet is about 75-76 earth years.
Yes and no. To revolve can also mean to rotate, to spin on a central axis contained within the object, like a revolving door. To orbit is to circle around a central point without touching it. That is sometimes called revolving also.

If you mean the trajectory of the planets around their parent stars, it is called the orbit, and it is not a circle but an ellipse
The root word of "revolve" is "re-", which means "again" or "back." The word "revolve" itself means to move in a circular path or orbit around a central point.

Yes, "orbit" and "revolve around" mean the same thing. Not "rotate" though; that means "spin". The easy way to remember: Earth ROTATES on its axis (spins around) but REVOLVES around the Sun (while its rotating, of course.)
if you mean the imaginary line that the planets travel on it's called an 'Orbit' or 'obital path'
The act of moving or revolving around, or as in a circle or orbit; a revolution; as, the periodical circuit of the earth round the sun.
The word is "revolve."
If by revolution you mean the spin on it's own axis this is more or less a perfect circle. If you are referring to it's orbit around the sun, this is elliptical, not a perfect circle.
