EVERYTHING is ALWAYS moving. Nothing stands "still"; in fact, there is no such thing as "still".
The Earth is spinning; at the equator, you would be moving at 1,200 miles per hour, without noticing it - because the air is ALSO moving that fast. The Earth is moving, too, at about 66,600 miles per hour in its orbit around the Sun.
The Sun is moving, too, because the entire galaxy is spinning once every 200 million years or so. The Milky Way galaxy is also moving, although we can't be sure exactly which way or how fast.
Comets are orbiting the Sun, speeding up as they get closer to the Sun and slowing down as they move away.
