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.

You may find instances where 'revolve' is used to describe axial rotation, but in most cases the reference is made clear, as in "the earth revolves about its axis once per day". From the WikiPedia article on "Planets": "All planets revolve around stars. In the Solar System, all the planets orbit in the same direction as the Sun rotates.
