What is revolution in astronomy?

Answer 1

Revolution means one complete rotation, about a point for a point and about an axis for a system.

In the sense that they both refer to spinning around a center, revolution and rotation are synonymous. However, a revolution is defined as one full rotation, and a period of revolution is the duration of one full rotation.

In astronomy, revolution refers to the orbital motion of one celestial body around another. This can include planets orbiting around a star, moons orbiting around a planet, or even stars orbiting around a common center of mass in binary or multiple star systems.
