Solution
A pen lying on the table is at rest with respect to its surroundings and in motion with respect to a person on the moon.
Since the position of the pen with respect to its surrounding doesn’t change with time, so the pen is at rest.
But since earth and moon are moving with respect to each other(in different velocities and directions) and the pen is on earth and the man is on the moon so they are also moving with respect to each other. So the pen is in motion with respect to the person on the moon.
