If you are standing still on Earth, your speed relative to the planet's surface is essentially zero. However, considering Earth's rotation, you are moving at about 1,670 kilometers per hour (1,040 miles per hour) at the equator due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Additionally, as the Earth orbits the Sun, you are traveling at an average speed of about 107,000 kilometers per hour (66,600 miles per hour) through space. So, while standing still, your relative motion is complex, but you are indeed moving at significant speeds due to Earth's movements.
"Standing still" IS a measurement relative to the Earth. Relative toother things, you are moving with high speeds in complicated paths.But relative to the Earth, you are standing still.
Even when standing still, you are moving at a significant speed due to the Earth's rotation and its orbit around the Sun. The Earth rotates at roughly 1,670 kilometers per hour (about 1,040 miles per hour) at the equator. Additionally, as the Earth orbits the Sun, it travels at an average speed of about 107,000 kilometers per hour (66,600 miles per hour). So, while you may feel stationary, you are actually part of these vast motions.
The Sun appears to move across the sky because the Earth is rotating on its axis. This rotation creates the illusion of the Sun moving from east to west, even though it is actually the Earth that is turning.
Its all relative to your point of reference... The earth rotates from west to east about its axis, or counter-clockwise looking down from a point in space above the north pole. You are standing on the earth, so you are also moving from west to east. You look up at the sun or stars, and they appear to move from east to west. Do this experiment... Stand still and look at some object in front of you. Pretend you are the earth and your head is the north pole. Turn slowly to your left (west to east) and you will notice that the object seems to move to your right (east to west).
The answer is based on Galilean interial frames. If you are standing on a (non-accelerating) platform moving at a constant velocity, it is physically identical to standing on a still, non-moving platform. The sum of the forces acting on you (remember force = mass x acceleration) is the same in both cases.

A person who is standing still on the Earth's surface is in a state of relative rest with respect to the surface of the Earth. However, they are actually moving along with the Earth as it rotates on its axis and revolves around the sun. So, in a broader sense, they are always in motion.
The person's velocity would be 0 km/h since they are not moving in relation to the surface of the Earth. Their velocity would only change if they start moving relative to the surface, but standing still means their velocity is 0.
How fast a person is moving, while standing still, on the surface of the Earth.
Speed is always the speed relative to something else.If you see something standing still, that just means that it's movingwith exactly the same speed and direction that you are. The object that'sstanding still could be the book in your lap in a seat on a passenger jetflying at 500 miles per hour, relative to the ground, to visit your grandmother.And don't forget that the airplane, you, and the book, are all spinning alongwith the Earth, while the Earth and all of those things revolve around the sun.There's no such thing as really standing still.
They are the exact same. If an object is standing still, it is in motion. Everything in the world is in motion. Not because of the earth moving, it is because particles in all objects are moving.
Saturn appears to stand still in the sky due to its orbit around the Sun and Earth. As Earth moves around the Sun slightly faster than Saturn, it can appear as though Saturn is moving backwards or standing still relative to the background stars. This phenomenon is known as retrograde motion.
because you are moving at the same speed - relatively, you are standing still. you are small, the earth is BIG.
standing still; not moving.
The frame of reference with regard to postion, speed and acceleration is just your perspective in measuring speed, position, or acceleration. Say you are watching a horse and a train moving alongside each other in the same direction. If you are standing on still ground, you observe the horse and the train moving at a certain speed relative to you. Let's assume this speed is three meters per second. Now suppose you are on the train looking at the horse, which is still moving at the same speed in the same direction. You will see the horse moving at zero meters per second relative to you, because both you and the horse are moving at the same speed. Even though you are both moving, the horse will still move along side you as if you and the horse are standing perfectly still.

Relative motion is the concept that the motion of all objects is relative to other objects. If you are sitting still right now you are not moving relative to the earth, however you are moving relative to sun.
