revolve

An object or a system can revolve around a central point or axis.

Think about something like the Earth. The word 'revolve' usually means moving around a fixed point, not necessarily going anywhere new. When we say that the planets revolve around the Sun, it means they move in circles around their central star. In everyday life, you might hear people talk about the Earth revolving on its axis, which is why day and night change as it spins. Revolving doors are another common example - when you push a door, it turns on its own axis so that you can go through.
