Yes - the Earth "orbits" (or revolves) around the Sun at an average distance of

149.59787 million kilometres away. The speed of our orbit is 108,000 km/h and the Earth travels 940 million km during one orbit.

A complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun occurs every 365.2563666 days (which is why a year has 365 days - and why we need a "leap year" ever 4 years).

Revolution is an ambiguous term because Earth both revolves (spins = rotates/rotation) on its own axis (making night and day) and also revolves round (orbits) the Sun (making the yearly seasons).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That refers to Earth's movement around the Sun, also known as the Earth orbiting the Sun. Earth revolves, or orbits, around the Sun once a year.

The Earth's revolution is its orbit around the Sun. That takes a year to complete.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earth's rotation is the amount of time required to complete one day/night cycle. It is one rotation about the axis. This period of time has been arbitrarily divided into 24 periods of equal length called hours.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earth spins just over 365 times on its axis for each revolution it makes about the Sun, which we call a year.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The revolution of the earth around the sun is what constitutes a year. The rotation of the earth creates the diurnal day/night cycle.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The revolution of the Earth refers to the movement of the Earth around the Sun.

Revolution is the earth orbiting around the sun (partly why we have seasons). One full revolution is 365.25 days, or a year.... but don't confuse this with rotation, which is the earth spinning on its axis, and what causes day and night. The revolution of the Earth is studied by Earth scientists, particularly geophysicists and astronomers.
