Rotation Revolution

Rotation and revolution are different versions of the same circular movement. A rotation is a revolution in some eventual framework, and vice versa.  It is not the entity that is important but the form (circle) of the rotation, and/or revolution. It's the movement that is moving and not the entity at all. Eventually, substance and movement are the same. (Image: http://www.valpo.edu/geomet/geo/courses/geo260/pics/seasons.gif)
