Traffic vs Aircraft vs Flight vs Airplane

Hi folks,

can anyone explain the difference between Traffic, Aircraft, Flight and Airplane ?

from icao Doc 444:
Aircraft. Any machine that can derive support in the atmosphere from the reactions of the air other than the reactions of the air against the earth’s surface.

I understand that the Aircraft is an Aircraft until it starts moving then we can call it Traffic, i could be wrong !

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Cheers.
