Yes rest and motion are relative terms
As we cant tell everytime whether it is in motion or rest
because earth is moving car is moving so we cant say that one body is at rest or in motion
For example : if you are sitting in bus you think you are in rest but in actual the bus in the motion
And you see tress moving behind you but in actual they are at rest

Hey Vsauce, Michael here!
Hi, I'm here writing this answer sitting on my table, gazing at the screen. Suddenly someone hops into my room, for him I'm completely at rest. He deduces his observation by relating my position with my surrounding. But suppose I'm sitting on a table inside a train, for me and him everything's still the same, I'm still at rest, but, for the person outside the train we're in motion.
Now the person outside the train sees us moving as we change our position with respect to his surrounding. Now the train passes, the person is standing still, he thinks he's at rest, but there is yet another person standing on the moon, for him even that person is moving with earth.
Then there is yet another observer standing on the sun, for him all the other people are moving.
Thus it is clearly evident that motion and rest are relative and as always thanks for reading.
