Detailed explanation-1: -"Rotation” refers to an object’s spinning motion about its own axis. “Revolution” refers the object’s orbital motion around another object. For example, Earth rotates on its own axis, producing the 24-hour day. Earth revolves about the Sun, producing the 365-day year.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis every 23 hours and 56 minutes, which is rounded up to 24 hours. Does this time sound familiar? The 24 hours that Earth takes to make one rotation is equal to one day.
