What is a fixed joint in the skeleton?

What is the difference between a mobile joint and rigid joint?
A joint is where two sections of something come together. With bones, your elbow, knee, jaw, fingers, etc. are all mobile joints, because they move. A rigid joint would be where the bones don't move; your skull has various bones that connect but do not move.
