apparent motion
Apparent motion refers to a perceived movement held by an observer when either the observer or the object being observed is actually in motion. This optical illusion often contradicts actual position or movement due to differences in the viewer's perspective or extraneous factors such as light. An example is the apparent motion of the sun across the sky.
