orbit vs revolve

Question

سلام

تفاوت این دو جمله چیه؟

The Earth orbits the Sun

The Earth revolves around the sun

 

Answer 1

 

هیچ تفاوتی نداره.

 orbit 

 چرخیدن روی یک محور رو میگه.

همچنان

around  رو در بطن خودش داره.

پس هم میتونی استفاده کنی هم نکنی.

خیلی ممنون از پاسخ قاطعتون :)

Answer 2

If sth orbits sth else, the first thing travels around the second thing as you have mentioned in the first sentence. The second sentence sounds weird to me since 'revolving' means to move around an axis that passes through the center of the object- not around an external axis which is the case in 'orbiting'.
