Do the planets in the solar system all move in retrograde motion?

YES. There are several meanings to "retrograde" in astronomy.
In this case, I am assuming you mean the apparent "backwards" orbital motion of a planet that is sometimes seen.
This is very obvious in the case of Mars. Also, all the outer planets show this "apparent retrograde motion".
It's easy to forget, but Mercury and Venus also show this behaviour, but in a slightly different way.

Which planet rotate in retrograde motion?
Uranus and Venus are the two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation. All of the planets orbit the Sun.
When a planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system it is called .?
retrograde motion
What planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system it is called .?
This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
What is a planet called when it spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in the solar system?
This is called retrograde rotation. Within our solar system, the planets of Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.
Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?
Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.

What is the name given to the phenomenon in which the apparent motion of the planets sometimes reverses?
Retrograde motion happens when the Earth overtakes an outer planet in its orbit. It happens around the date of Opposition when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky. Usually planets travel from west to east along the ecliptic, but during retrograde motion they travel backwards, from east to west,.

What planets are retrograde?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction.
Which planet never goes in a retrograde motion?
in our solar system the planets which are of a closer proximity to the sun than the earth never go in a retrograding motion as their orbits are smaller
What planetary phenomenon did Eudoxus solar system?
