Working with Backdrops

Prerequisite
What is a Backdrop?
The Backdrop is a picture which you can choose to display on your Stage window as a Background.
At a time, only one backdrop can be displayed on the Stage.https://cdncreaticodecom.b-cdn.net/scratch-gui-projects/forum/e2cf1b6f-9572-4aa5-92ca-57385646d426.PNG" width="500" style="border-radius: 5px; border: 1px solid #29622d;">
The Backdrop cannot be moved (unlike a sprite)
The backdrop cannot move like a sprite, as it is only used as a background image or scene.
The motion blocks are disabled for the backdrop.https://cdncreaticodecom.b-cdn.net/scratch-gui-projects/forum/3082fdc3-a81a-4ad2-9122-f93a393c9419.gif" width="900" style="border-radius: 5px; border: 1px solid #29622d;">
