Motion that appears to happen (but in reality may not - it may be due to changing frames of reference).

Examples

The Sun appears to move from East to West across the sky during the course of a day.

Some stars appear to move relative to some other stars.

While seated in a moving train if another train comes alongside for a while and maintains the same speed there may be very little relative motion but when their speeds differ one appears to move slowly (even though from an observer outside the train both are moving rapidly). It may even be difficult from on board the trains to determine which of the trains actually is moving.
