Frame of Reference :A set of axes, taken as being for practical purposes at rest, that enables the position of a point or body in space to be defined at any instant of time.


Reference Point : A point with respect to which other points, lines etc. are referred, usually in terms of distance or direction, or both.

A frame of reference is a system used to define location or state for physical objects. A reference frame is a system of objects that are not moving with respect to one another.

In physics, the term 'frame of reference' is usually used to describe the relative motion between an observer and an object. If both the observer and the object have the same frame of reference, there is no relative motion between the two of them, such as a man looking at his suitcase on a moving train.

Here is the first paragraph from Wikipedia: "In physics, a frame of reference (or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix (locate and orient) the coordinate system and standardize measurements."Simply stated, a reference point (origin of the coordinate axes) and directions from which coordinates are measured.

The sun as the point of reference since the earth orbits the sun and the sun is not in motion. This is an example for when a mosquito is in motion even though it is lying still on the ground.
