Yes. On Earth, the reference point is easy to define: it is either the ground, sky, or things. In space, it's not so easy, but we often use the Sun as a reference. Beyond the Sun, perhaps the motion of our solar system could be measured using the Milky Way galaxy as a reference.

If an objects position does not change relative to a reference point is it in motion relative to that reference point?

If we're in the realm of newtonian physics I would say that it couldn't be in motion relative to a reference point, of course quantum physics and seems to prove everything we believe wrong.


How do you tell if a book is at rest or in motion?

A book is at rest if it is not moving relative to a reference point. If the book is changing its position relative to the reference point, then it is in motion. In physics, rest and motion are relative to the observer's frame of reference.

What is motion described from a particular reference point is?

Motion described from a particular reference point is called relative motion. It is the concept of observing an object's movement relative to a specified frame of reference, which could be a stationary object or observer. The description of motion may vary based on different reference points chosen.
