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.
Its moving. Quickly. It is in orbit around the earth, the same as any satellite.

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.

That tendency is called inertia. It is a property of matter where objects resist changes in their motion.
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.

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).

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.
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.
Movement Occurs When an Object moves Relative to a Stationary Object
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.
it is all relative
