Key Differences

Motion refers to the act or process of moving, or a change in position or place. Movement can refer to physical relocation but often denotes a broader concept like a social or artistic trend.

In physics, motion is a technical term describing an object's change in position over time. Movement, in contrast, can describe physical activity or exercise, as well as larger social or cultural shifts.

Motion often focuses on the mechanics or the action of moving, be it in science, law (as in a legal motion), or everyday language. Movement can encompass a wider range of activities, from physical actions to large-scale social changes.

The concept of motion can be applied to objects, bodies, or mechanisms when describing their movement. Movement is more versatile, often used to describe groups, trends, or collective actions, like in "artistic movement" or "political movement".
