What is the difference between the Earth's rotation (spinning) and revolution (orbit)?

Rotation is the way the Earth spins around itself and it’s axis during 24 hour period. Revolution is the way Earth orbits the sun during one year period.

Explanation:

The rotation of the Earth is the planet’s spinning around itself and it’s own axis. If we were to draw the imaginary line from one pole of Earth to the other and put it under the small angle, we would have the axes around which Earth spins. It takes earth 24 hours or one day to spin around itself. The regions that are towards the sun at the moment are having sunlight and daytime, while others that don’t face the sun during the spin are experiencing night time.

Revolution is the way Earth goes around the sun in the imaginary orbit. This orbit is not a perfect circle but in the shape of an ellipse. Earth is revolving around the Sun for little more than 365 days – therefore, a year. As it takes just a bit more than perfect 365 days, we add a day to the year every four years. This is known as a leap year. As the Earth is angled, one part of the earth hemisphere is always closer to the Sun, and as Earth rotates these changes. This is how the seasons change on the Earth.
