What do the planets do to incur retrograde motion?
The planets don't have to "do anything" to "go into" retrograde motion. The retrograde motion, the "moving backward" that planets do as we watch them cross the night sky over the weeks, is due to the nature of the orbit of a planet and to our view of that orbit from earth.
Why do planets keep on orbiting the sun?
They are held by the gravitational pull of the sun. All the planets and things like asteroids and comets are all within the influence of the sun's gravity.Additional answerBut the reason they go on moving is that there is nothing to stop them. On Earth things stop moving because of friction, but in space there is no friction so, according to Newton's 1st Law of Motion which says that a body will continue in its state of motion unless acted on by an external force, the planets just go on.
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 planets will lineup on December 21 2012?
no because it cant cuz all planets go around the sun
Do all planets orbit the sun?
yes all planets must orbit the sun or else it would burn a planet or freeze a planet

What is said to happen on December 21 2012?
They say that on that day all the planets will align with the sun and a meteor will go through all the planets including the sun

In what direction is the sun's annual motion relative to the fixed stars?
The Sun's apparent motion among the stars is from West to East - just like the motion of the Moon, and the predominant motion of the planets (planets sometimes go from East to West, too - in this case they are said to be retrograde).

Why do all planets nearer to the sun than the earth go through phases as seen from earth?
because the sun causes ther effect
Why does a male dog who has never bread a female dog go through the motion in the air?
its in their blood they already know how to breed and when they go through the motion in the air that means they want to breed
What planets go round the stars?
All 8 planets in our solar system rotate around a star, our sun. Virtually all planets rotate around a star.
Did people visited all the planets?
people did not go to all planet.But they did go to no dwaf planet
Why do the planets seem to move in a zig- zag pattern through the sky after many weeks?
Retrograde motion. Retrograde motion happens when the Earth moves around the sun faster than the observed planet: the planet is ahead of earth on in its orbit around the sun, but then the earth goes past that planet (in comparison to the sun) and as we go by the planet appears to go backward.
