What is the difference between orbit and revolve?

Orbit refers to the path that an object takes as it moves around another object due to gravitational forces, like the way planets orbit the Sun. Revolve, on the other hand, typically describes the motion of an object spinning around an axis or center point, such as the Earth revolving around its own axis, leading to day and night. Essentially, orbit is about the path taken around another body, while revolve often refers to rotation around an internal axis.

If you were standing on Pluto how often would you see the satellite Charon rise above the horizon each day?

On Pluto, one day is about 6.4 Earth days long, so Charon would rise above the horizon twice a day. This is because Pluto and Charon are tidally locked, meaning they always show the same face to each other as they orbit, so Charon rises and sets every 3.2 Earth days from Pluto's perspective.
