What is the stationary object against which motion can be measured?
There is no such thing as a "stationary" object. Every motion is always measured relative to something else, which, coincidentally, is what the question is all about. The thing against which motion is measured is called the "reference frame".
Can the motion of an object be measured just by looking at it?
What a strange question! Motion cannot be measured. You can only measure Speed or Velocity, or Acceleration , or Distance travelled. Speed is a measure that relates Distance travelled in a particular Time. It is very easy to look at a moving object, but you cannot expect to have a brain which tells you precisely how far the object moved, just by looking at it. Perhaps you have been reading too many Science Fiction Novels lately!
Why do you think it is important to create a visual representation of the motion of an object?
to determine if the motion of an object is decrease or increase by looking at the visual representation or looking at the graph
What kind of force causes an object to change its motion?
An outside force, measured in Newtons(N)
How can they tell how fast the earth is moving through space?
There's no such thing as "motion through space". Motion must be measured relative to another object. So we just measure how fast the other object appears to be moving, and there we go.
Is it true the motion of an object can be measured by looking at it?
Yes
Is it true that the motion of an object can be measured by looking at it?
Yes
Can the motion of an object be measured by looking at it?
no you have to get different kinds of rates to know that i the exact answer.

The proper motion of a star or other object is measured by what?
By measuring the change in angular diameter of the object
How an object can be measured by change in position from one area to another?
motion
How an object can be measured by its change in position one area to another?
motion

How can you explain an object's motion using time and distance?
An objects speed or motion is measured by distance divided by time.
What kind of force causes an object to change its motion?
An outside force, measured in Newtons(N)
What is a reference point When dealing with motion?
It means, with respect to what is the motion calculated. There is no "absolute" motion, or velocity; you always have to compare an object to some other object, to decide whether it is moving, and how quickly.
