1) How did the Ptolemaic model explain the apparent retrograde motion of the planets? B) It placed the Sun at the center so that the planets' apparent retrograde motion was seen as the Earth passed each one in its orbit.

The retrograde motion of planets The simplest model to explain the motion of the planets has them, along with the Moon and the Sun (the other two wandering objects in the sky), moving in circles, centered around a fixed Earth. This corresponds to the first reversal of apparent motion. A while later (around the...

One phenomenon that aincient astronomers had difficulty explaining was the retrograde motion of the planets. Over the course of a single night, a planet will move from East to West across the sky, Retrograde Motion in the Ptolemaic (Geocentric) System The Apparent Motion of Planets on the Celestial Sphere...

Although Ptolemy had an explanation for this retrograde motion, so Ptolemy could not explain why retrograde motion takes place at opposition. There will be a lab in this course to investigate how well Ptolemy did in this Ptolemy's model had the motions of the planets all mixed up from the real motions.

More Sophisticated Epicycles: The Ptolemaic Universe Now, in this tortured model one sees that it is possible to have retrograde motion and varying brightness, since at times as viewed from the earth However, in practice, even this was not enough to account for the detailed motion of the planets on the celestial sphere!

The Copernican system by banishing the idea that the Earth was the center of the Solar System, immediately led to a simple explanation of both the varying brightness of the planets and retrograde motion: Thus, in the Copernican model the Sun was at the center, but the planets still executed uniform circular motion about it.
