What is a backward orbit?
retrograde
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.
What is the name of the orbit that allows satellites to orbit the earth but yet appear stationary?

Do planets always move east against the stars?
All the planets do orbit the sun in the same direction. However, as we orbit the sun quicker than the planets further out from us, and slower than the ones inside us they do at times appear to be moving the other direction.
Why do stars appear to move across the sky during the night?
stars don't move across the sky, we orbit the sun, as you should know, and as we orbit the sun we see the stars as moving but in all actuality we are just changing position and seeing the stars at a different perspective
Is Jupiter moving slower in its orbit then mars?
