When that happens, the planet moves from east to west, from our point of view. This should not be confused with the daily motion of all stars + planets due to Earth's rotation; rather, to the planet's movement against the background of the stars.

Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?
The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.
The apparent westward movement of a planet is known as?
retrograde motion
What is the apparent backward motion of a planet seen from earth called?
That is called 'apparent retrograde motion'.See the related link listed belowfor more information.
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).
What happens to the motion of an object if the net force acting on it is 0 n?
Nothing happens to its motion, and it continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
On the night when you were watching the Moon at sunset and then at 1000 its overall motion in the sky during that time was?
The Moon's overall motion (apparent motion) in the sky was from East to West.
What is a star's apparent shift in motion called?
Motion parallax.
Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?
The seasons are due to axial tilts of planets and the apparent motion of stars and sun on the celestial sphere is due to diurnal motion.
What is Mercury's apparent motion?
mercurys motion can be like any other planets motion
What are two types of star motions?
Actual motion and apparent motion.
How does apparent force affect the motion of an object?
Accelerates the motion of an object.
What causes the apparent movement of objects across the sky during day or night on earth?
The rotation of the earth is what gives motion to the heavens.
The apparent westward movement of a planet is known as?
retrograde motion
What is a stars apparent shift in position?
Motion
What happens during a physical reaction?
The Law of Motion is once again demonstrated.
What is the apparent backward motion of a planet seen from earth called?
That is called 'apparent retrograde motion'.See the related link listed belowfor more information.
What is responsible for the patterns of motion of all celestial objects?
Gravity for the real motion, the Earth's rotation for the apparent motion.
