Well, sweetie, that flickering light in the sky is either a twinkling star or a UFO in stealth mode. Maybe it's just a bratty satellite playing peekaboo with Earth. Either way, grab your popcorn and enjoy the show!
Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.

The sun appears to stay still in our sky because of the Earth's rotation on its axis. The sun appears to rise in the east and set in the west due to the Earth spinning from west to east. The sun itself is constantly moving within the Milky Way galaxy, but from our perspective on Earth, it appears stationary.
They only appears moving due to the rotation of the earth.
For the purpose of this question we can assume the Sun to be stationary (it actually isn't) but due to the Earth's rotation it appears in our sky that the sun is moving. It is one of those instances where it is easier to think of it that way.
true
this object that appears to stay in place is a reference point.
It appears stationary because it is moving around the Earth at the same rate that the Earth is rotating about its axis.
An object that appears to stay in place is likely stationary relative to the observer. This can occur when an object is not moving in relation to the observer's frame of reference, creating the perception that it is fixed in place.
True. When the source of a sound is moving relative to a stationary observer, the pitch of the sound appears to change due to the Doppler effect. If the source is moving towards the observer, the pitch is heard higher, and if the source is moving away, the pitch is heard lower.
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.
If something appears to be moving to the left of you, it means that its motion is directed towards your left side relative to your own position. This can occur if the object is actually moving to the left, or if you are moving to the right while the object remains stationary. Another possibility is that the object is stationary, but you are moving to the left.
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.
A cyclist appears to be stationary with respect to another moving cyclist when they are both moving at the same speed and direction. This occurs when they maintain a consistent distance and speed relative to each other.
Yes, this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect. When the source of a sound is moving towards the observer, the pitch appears higher, and when the source is moving away, the pitch appears lower. This change in frequency occurs due to relative motion between the source and the observer.
The antonym of stationary is mobile.
When the source of a sound is moving towards a stationary observer, the pitch of the sound will appear higher (increased frequency). When the source is moving away from the observer, the pitch will appear lower (decreased frequency). This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.
