Revolution
The planets of the solar system all revolve around the Sun under the effect of gravitation.
This movement is called the revolution, the period of revolution is the time a planet takes to return to its initial position.
The planet Venus has a revolution period of 224.667 days, its orbit is inclined by 3.395° with respect to the ecliptic.

Aphelion and perihelion
The orbits of the planets are not perfectly circular, but elliptical. This means that there is a point closer to the Sun (the perihelion) and a point further away (the aphelion).
