Answer: When discussing how any object moves, we mean its motion relative to something else. We are at rest relative to earth.

Explanation: Hope this helps :)

You could be lying completley still on your bed, and all though it seems you are at rest, you are moving along with the earth around the sun and hence are motion. This is why 'being at rest' is more of a relative term. Hope this helps!
