The Moon only revolves around the earth!
The Earth revolves around the sun and around its axis!
What about the Sun?

no Sun does not revolve around its own axis but it revolve around another star.

The Moon revolves on it's axis once every 29.3 days - if it didn't, we would see the entire Moon. It has to rotate once in it's orbit of the Sun to keep the same side always facing us.
Yes, the sun also rotates on it's axis. The equator rotates about once every 28 days, and the poles every 32 days due to differential rotation - basically, the Sun isn't a solid body, so it doesn't all rotate at the same speed.

I think we must first be clear in two terms rotation and revolution. Rotation is to rotate around its own axis and revolution is to revolve around another mass.
Moon revolves and rotates; but problem is that it takes exactly same time to rotate its one complete rotation that of its revolution that means its one day and one year is same and thats the reason for why we seen only one face of moon.
Yes, earth rotates and revolves; that you have also insisted.
All the rotating bodies revolve too to balance the centrifugal force created due to their revolution ( i am not exactly sure about this statement; whether it is centrifugal or centripital force...... but hope you can manage with the answer); example it electron; it has both rotaion and revolution; moon earth etc,
.......and sun also rotate to its own axis and it has a day just like ours ( i think its one day is 37 earth day or something like that ... i am not sure) and it takes millions of earth years to complete one complete revolution; i.e. its one year where it revolves around the centre of milky way galaxy which is also called galactic centre of milky way galaxy.

The moon *does* revolve around its own axis, but its period is 24 hours. Thats why we never can see the other moon's face

yes it sure revolves, but its too scientific , the sun revolves arond the centre of the milky way galaxy and so do other stars the sun since its formation has revolved only 3 to 5 times around the centre of the milky way galaxy.

YES IT DOES. EACH AND EVERY HEVENLY BODY REVOLVES AROUND SOMETHING OR THE OTHER , LIKE MOON,EARTH SUN AND EVEN THE SOLAR SYSTEMS AND THE GALAXIES

Our galaxy spins, so our sun orbits around our galaxy's core. I don't know if our sun will even make one revolution before it blows up. The sun rotates on it's axis too.

Yes, which causes our solar system to rotate around the sun.

Yes it does residual angular momentum remnants from the swirling gas that formed our sun.
