How is center different from pivot?

Question

Unity

At the top of the toolbar, you can find a button that changes center to pivot and vice versa. I tried to rotate the object in both positions, something changed (the object began to rotate differently), but I still did not understand what.

Answer 1

see any 3d editor pivot is a point relative to which transformations take place and for convenience it can be placed, for example, in a corner to attach the entire object, beyond this corner, to another point. Or use it as a pivot. And the center is the center. Great tool for creating maps.
