It means that if you copy the shape on a piece of wax paper and you put the wax paper on the normal paper to match it up, you put a sharp object such as a pencil or pen and you rotate the wax paper you will be able to match the wax paper shape up to the normal paper shape even if the wax paper has been spun.
rotation symmetry of a parallelogram Sequence
Sometimes called rotation symmetry, or symmetry of rotation. If you have an object that can be turned through a certain angle (like rotating a cube through 90o) and then it looks identical, then that object has a certain symmetry under rotation. If you can turn it through any angle, like a cylinder, then it has rotation (or rotational) symmetry.

The letters S and N have point symmetry but not line symmetry.

To find the smallest angle of rotational symmetry for a figure, divide 360 degrees by the number of rotational symmetries of the figure. The result will give you the smallest angle of rotational symmetry.
Yes. An ellipse (oval) has two lines of symmetry, but not a rotational symmetry. A parabola has one line and no rotation.
Any shape with a rotational symmetry of order 2 or more.

Rotational symmetry refers to symmetry of the figure when it is rotated about a single point in the same plane. Lines of symmetry apply to reflections. You do not have lines of rotational symmetry.
A figure has rotational symmetry when it can rotate onto itself in less than a full rotation.
No. A square is a plane figure and conventionally for plane figures symmetry is considered in terms of rotation about a point or an axis (in the plane of the figure) but not a plane outside the plane of the square.

A diamond has two rotation symmetry. It is possible to have a diamond that does have four of rotation symmetry.
Yes it does. As long as it has a symmetry without rotation. If you do the rotation either way it does have symmetry. :)
