'An object said to be at rest when it is not in motion'.

The above statement has been proved by Newton's First Law of Motion (Law Of Inertia) , it says When a body is at rest it tends to be at rest and when a body is inmotion it tends to be in motion until an external force is applied on it.

a body is at rest if you stay very still. these object that still or at rest possess inertia. everything made of matter is inertia, even you. a motion is a movement object around you or yourself, when you walk or ride a rollercoster your already doing a motion...

It is in motion only if its position changes relative to some arbitarily defined point in space.
