Stability implies an equilibrium which we can both observe and measure.

Static stability and dynamic stability centers around no movement vs movement.

A simple example of static stability will be a cone or cylindrical object lying on a flat surface. Unless disturbed it stays in the equilibrium state. When disturbed the object tries to come back to its static equilibrium position.

An example of dynamic stability will be a chemical equilibrium between two substances A and B in a chemical reaction.The relative rates of the conversion of A to B and B to A establishes an observable overall equilibrium constant for these two chemical species under the specified experimental conditions such as temperature, pressure, etc. Another example would be the revolution of the earth and planets around the sun.
