Well, a rotunda is, by definition, round, while an atrium is not necessarily round.

Specifically, the definition for a rotunda is "a building or room circular in plan and usually domed" while the definition for an atrium is: "In classical architecture, an interior courtyard that is open to the weather. In contemporary architecture, a significant interior space, often skylighted, used for circulation."
