Retrograde motion is the apparent backward movement of a planet as seen from Earth. It results from the different orbital speeds and positions of Earth and the other planet; the planet does not physically reverse its orbit.
All dates use Istanbul time and are shown to the minute. The diagram illustrates orbital relationships, not current positions.
