Responda
Retrograde motion: The apparent backwards movement of planets from west to east against a fixed background of stars.
Retrograde motion: The complex movement of planets as they move through a solar system.
The solar system is constantly changing and moving. Some planets appear to move backwards because they are changing the direction of their orbit and moving in a different way from what they were before.
The earths smaller orbit causes it to overtake the outer planets at certain times. This causes the planets to appear to slow down and go into reverse against the star background.
