Answer:


\boxed{ \bold{ \sf{Reference \: point}}}

A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion is called a reference point .

Explanation :

A reference point can be defined as a fixed point / place / object from which we compare the motion of an object. For example :

  • When we are travelling by bus , we are in motion with respect to a nearby tree. Here , the tree acts as a reference point or reference frame.
