The position of a body with respect to something fixed is called relative position.It is correlated to Einstein's Theory of relativity that everything in this universe is relative in nature.

A car moving from a point is said to cover a distance relative to the starting point Here the starting point of the car is taken as the reference point to measure the distance covered by the car. Had the starting point not fixed we would not be able to calculate the distance travelled by it. So the distance covered by the car is relative to its starting point. SINCE in this case the starting point is at zero the relative distance covered by the car is the actual distance covered by it otherwise we need to subtract it

An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?

An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.
