Objects that are "stationary" on Earth's surface are moving faster nearer the equator. The eastward motion of the rotating Earth is greatest at the equator (about 1037 mph or 1670 kph).

Water.

Stars, which are constantly moving away from Earth, have a red tint to them because of the Doppler effect. Also, think of a car moving past you. If you're standing stationary on a sidewalk, and you hear a car approaching, passing, and then moving away from you, the pitch of the engine changes. This is also because of the Doppler effect.
No. A geostationary satellite appears to be stationary in the sky, which means not moving. This is a big part of the reason why it is referred to as a geo'stationary' satellite.

An object that is stationary relative to Earth's surface is moving fastest relative to space at the Equator. This is because the Earth's rotation speed is greatest at the Equator, providing the highest linear velocity for an object on the Earth's surface.
The best that can be said is that you are moving relative to the Earth's surface.
You can compare the object's position relative to a reference point or a fixed landmark to determine if it is moving or stationary. If the object is changing its position relative to the reference point over time, then it is moving. If its position remains constant with respect to the reference point, then it is stationary.
geosynchronous orbit. The below is not completely accurate but close enough to state the concept and basic practice: A ring of spots above the equator where you can park your satellite and it will stay above the same spot. For a more accurate understanding reading on this subject and the related Lagrange orbits will be best.
Relative motion. To talk about a train moving at a certain speed usually means that the train is moving at a certain speed relative to a stationary observer (relative to the ground). This however also means that a passenger traveling in said train would experience the ground (and every other stationary object) as the moving object. This is why a stationary train may seem to be moving to passengers of an already moving train.
When you are driving, the objects inside the car are moving at the same speed and direction as the car, so they appear stationary relative to you. On the other hand, the objects outside the car are stationary or moving at varying speeds, which creates a visual contrast making them seem like they are moving relative to you.
Movement Occurs When an Object moves Relative to a Stationary Object
it is all relative
technically water is never stationary as it is made up of moving particles
Because there's no such thing as "really" stationary or "really" moving. If the distance between a point on one train and a point on the other train is changing, then a person on either train says that the other train is moving, and both of them are correct. A "stationary" train only appears to be moving if the train you're on is moving relative to that one.
