Planets revolve around the Sun. The Sun does not revolve or rotate around the planets. Planetary orbits are best described as an ellipse.

Revolving is when the planet goes around the Sun. Rotating is when the planet spins on its own axis. The Earth does one revolution in 365 days but one rotation in 24 hours.
