[Blue_Snow]

Could you tell me the difference between the two words?

Don't you have a dictionary?
Type "define: ______" replacing the line with the word you want to find out about into Google.

They're still confusing to me because they both indicate movement of circles.

[Blue_Snow]

Moreover, in my language they're the same. One is Earth moves around its orbit and one is around the Sun.

Their meaning is the same, but revolution is used much less often to describe that kind of movement. Revolution is mainly used to describe an uprising or something that stands up to any kind of established order.

Sorry. They're the definitions after being changed by me. I meant they both imply moving around.

The best way of learning the meaning of words is to take a look at them in different contexts. Here are some examples that show how the word 'rotation' can be used. Please note that in none of these sentences the 'rotation' could be replaced by 'revolution':

If the incipient spin has progressed for more than about half a turn because the pilot has kept the stick back, applying the full opposite rudder must be a good thing because it helps to stop the rotation and to even up the stalling of the wings.

In this way the rudder is a very powerful influence on the spin recovery because it helps the pitching movement and also slows the rotation.

In the south-east of Scotland a system based on the annual rotation of sheep, hay and cattle or simply alternating cattle and sheep each year to provide ‘clean ‘grass has demonstrated impressive increases in production.

ARS 417 It could be ruinously expensive to buy in livestock until you can produce enough fodder; the establishment of a crop rotation and hay or silage-making plans should therefore keep ahead of livestock build-up.

Sorry but I think I was not careful when asking the question. This question is just about the usages of the two words in the astronomy aspect.
