Study Notes

Rotation is the movement of an object around its own axis.
It is a circular motion around a fixed point or line.
Rotation can be clockwise or counterclockwise.
The axis of rotation is an imaginary line that runs through the center of the object.
Rotation is measured in degrees, with 360° being a full rotation.

Revolution is the movement of an object around another object or point in space.
It is a circular motion around a fixed point or orbit.
Revolution is often used to describe the movement of celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around the Sun.
The time it takes for an object to complete one full revolution is called its period.
Revolution is also measured in degrees, with 360° being a full revolution.

Rotation occurs around an object's own axis, while revolution occurs around another object or point in space.
Rotation is a local motion, while revolution is a global motion.
Rotation is typically faster than revolution, as it occurs around a smaller axis.

The Earth's rotation is the movement of the planet around its own axis, causing day and night.
The Earth's revolution is the movement of the planet around the Sun, taking approximately 365.25 days to complete one orbit.
A spinning top rotates around its axis, while a satellite in orbit around the Earth undergoes a revolution.
