an object is said to be in motion when....
it changes its position with respect to its surroundings or time.
it stays in place while its surroundings change position.
its movement can be seen from outer space.
it changes its material components and spatial awareness.

Explanation:

To determine when an object is in motion, we refer to the concept of relative motion. An object is in motion when its position changes relative to a reference point (its surroundings) or over time.

• The first option states "it changes its position with respect to its surroundings or time" which aligns with the definition of motion.
• The second option ("it stays in place while its surroundings change position") describes a situation where the object is stationary relative to its surroundings changing, so the object is not in motion.
• The third option ("its movement can be seen from outer space") is incorrect because an object's motion doesn't depend on being visible from outer space.
• The fourth option ("it changes its material components and spatial awareness") is incorrect as motion is about position change, not material or awareness changes.

Answer:

A. it changes its position with respect to its surroundings or time
