Why do objects inside the car appear to be stationary when compared to the objects outside of the car?

Think of the car as a mobile container, holding items being transported, the item doing the transporting is in motion, and attached to the inside are the items being moved. so the total speed of the items being moved is the same as the item/vehicle doing the moving. Because the vehicle in motion is travelling in a different direction to the location being travelled, this gives you the result (the items in the vehicle are stationary relative to the motion of the vehicle in use).

Time difference of objects at speed of light compared to time on earth?

What is the definition of the word stroposcopes?
A stroboscope is any various instrument used to observe moving objects by making them appear stationary, especially with pulsed illumination or mechanical devices that intermittently interrupt observation.
What is color perspective?
Color perspective, also known as atmospheric perspective, refers to the phenomenon where objects appear to change in color and brightness based on their distance from the viewer. Objects further away typically appear lighter and less saturated compared to objects that are closer. This effect is caused by the atmosphere scattering light and affecting our perception of color.

What is stroboscopic light?
A stroboscopic light, or strobe light, is a device which discharges flashes of light which causes moving objects to appear stationary or slow-moving. The flashing light has been known to cause seizures in people who suffer from epilepsy.
