Space is vast and expanding as you read this, you could choose any point in space (even your self) and dub it as the center of the universe this site depicts it pretty well.
P.S sorry if this wasn't that helpful, I'm 13 and I love science. I just so happened to come across this question and thought I could be of use.
Relative motion is the concept that the motion of all objects is relative to other objects. If you are sitting still right now you are not moving relative to the earth, however you are moving relative to sun.
An object can be at rest relative to a second object whilst in motion relative to a third object.For example, if you sit still then relative to the Earth you are at rest. However the Earth is both spinning on its axis and travelling around the Sun, so relative to an observer in space you are in motion. Einstein showed us that all such concepts are relative.

An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.
Comets orbit the Sun, the Earth orbits the Sun. Thus both the comet and the Earth are in motion one relative to the other and thus the position a the comet relative to the earth is constantly changing.

Years are defined as the amount of time it takes to go all the way around our sun.
To compensate for the motion of the Earth in order to observe a fixed object, such as a distant star. Relative to the Earth, distant objects do not move, but the Earth rotates and orbits the sun, thus all objects appear to move relative to a fixed point on the Earth. Therefore telescopes (which are fixed points) must move to compensate for this motion.
In space, the position of any of the objects in space is relative to other objects. There is no way to state the Sun's position. On the other hand, it is easy to tell where the planets are, relative to the Sun's position, so we can easily tell where each planet is right this second relative to the Sun. We simply cannot tell where the Sun is - just its distance from other space objects.

All the objects on the earth including the atmosphere are in motion along with the earth. So, it is not possible to perceive the motion of the earth staying on the earth.
Small objects that we can detect in space are all in the solar system and they all orbit the Sun and obey Kepler's laws of planetary motion, as do all the planets, asteroids etc.
Relative to the car you are motionless. Relative to the road you are moving at the speed of the car. Relative to the sun you are moving at the speed of Earth as it orbits the sun (30km a second).
Comets orbit the Sun, the Earth orbits the Sun. Thus both the comet and the Earth are in motion one relative to the other and thus the position a the comet relative to the earth is constantly changing.
