With the naked eye, one can see five planets: ... A good scientist, however, must try and make sense out of retrograde motion, which cannot be simply explained in an Earth-centered perspective. ... The heliocentric cosmology also explains retrograde motion, by relying on the fact that the planets move at different speeds;

The Jovian planets- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune- are many times larger and have dense, gaseous atmospheres with no visible surfaces. Because of this, ... We also explore retrograde motion, a consequence of the fact that those planets closer to the Sun move through their orbits more quickly then those farther away.

Just 85% of the visible hemisphere of Mars is illuminated at this time, ... Planets further than the Earth from the Sun move more slowly in their orbits, so the Earth will catch up with them as the two planets move towards opposition. Retrograde motion explained. Looking at positions 1-3, the direct motion of Mars appears...

We'll start by determining whether how many of the visible planets undergo retrograde motion. Start by finding and centering on the sun. Go into the "Labels" menu and select "Planets-Moon". Since Mercury and Venus are closer to the sun than Earth, they never stray far from the sun in the sky.
