Which direction do planets travel in the night sky?

Planets generally travel from east to west across the night sky due to the rotation of the Earth. However, they also exhibit a phenomenon called retrograde motion, where they appear to move westward temporarily against the backdrop of stars. This is caused by the relative positions and motions of the Earth and the planets in their orbits around the Sun. Overall, the predominant motion is eastward, but retrograde motion can create occasional westward movement.
