RotateAround(
Vector3 point,
Vector3 axis,
float 
angle);
    
 
 
 
Description
Rotates the transform about axis passing through point in world coordinates by angle degrees.
 
This modifies both the position and the rotation of the transform.
 
using UnityEngine;
//Attach this script to a GameObject to rotate around the target position.
public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    //Assign a GameObject in the Inspector to rotate around
    public GameObject target;
    void Update()
    {
        // Spin the object around the target at 20 degrees/second.
        transform.RotateAround(target.transform.position, Vector3.up, 20 * Time.deltaTime);
    }
