Rotational symmetry means it will look the same after being rotated a certain amount.
Let's assume that you mean a regular octagon where the sides are all equal in length and the angles are all the same (135 degrees).
With such an octagon, if you rotate it one turn to the right (that's 45 degrees), it will look just the same. Rotate another 45° and it is still the same. You can do this 8 times so we say that a regular octagon has an order of rotational symmetry of 8.

∙ 8y agoIt need not have any rotational symmetry (ie order 1). Or, it can have symmetries of order 2, 4 or 8.

Why does an octagon have rotational symmetry?
An octagon has eight-fold rotational symmetry, because rotation of octagon by 45 degrees (one-eighth of a full circle) produces a figure that is superimposible on (or congruent to) the original.
What is the rotational symmetry of a rectangle?
It has rotational symmetry to the order of 2
What is the rotational symmetry of a regular nonagon?
A regular nonagon with 9 sides has a rotational symmetry of 9.
Does a crescent have rotational symmetry?
Yes, a crescent has a rotational symmetry.
What figure has rotational symmetry but not line symmetry?
A nonrectangular parallelogram has rotational symmetry, but not line symmetry. Additionally, shapes such as the letters S, N, and Z can be rotated to show rotational symmetry, although they do not have line symmetry.
What is the order of rotational symmetry an octagon?
If it is a regular octagon then it has rotational symmetry to the order of 8
How many order of rotational symmetry does a octagon have?
If it's a regular 8 sided octagon then it rotational symmetry to the order of 8
How much rotational symmetry does an octagon have?
It has 8lines of rotational symmetry
What is the order of symmetry of an octagon?

How many rotational symmetries does a octagon have?
It has 8 rotational symmetry.
How many lines of reflection and angles of rotational symmetry does a octagon have?
I believe that an octagon has 16 lines of symmetry.
Why does an octagon have rotational symmetry?
An octagon has eight-fold rotational symmetry, because rotation of octagon by 45 degrees (one-eighth of a full circle) produces a figure that is superimposible on (or congruent to) the original.
What kind of symmetry does octagon have?
bilateral and rotational symetry
How many order of rotational symmetry in a octagon?
