Earth revolves around the sun once every 365 days. A revolution is the time it takes an object to complete one orbit, while rotation refers to an object spinning on its axis. The length of a year is different for each planet depending on how far it is from the sun, with closer planets like Mercury having shorter years than Earth and more distant planets like Neptune having longer years.
