The earth never reverses direction, nor does any other planet.
The APPARENT reversal of direction of some other planets, as seen from earth, is called retrograde motion.

How can you explain retrograde motion today?
The retrograde motion of a planet is the optical illusionthat a planet reverses its orbital direction, as seen from Earth.In reality, the planet does not change direction at all, but because the Earth is also orbiting the sun, the relative motion of the Earth and another planet in their respective orbits make it appear to us as if the planet reverses course for a while.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direction of Motion?
By definition, friction is opposite of the direction of motion.
How does the direction of friction compare to the direct motion?
The direction of the force of friction is opposite of the direction of the motion.
When a planet spins in the opposite direction of the other planets in a solar system it is called .?
retrograde motion
How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
How do we determine the direction of the impulse vector?
If the motion is on a straight line and the impulse reverses the direction, the impulse will follow the same direction as the final motion.

What balance motion and unbalance motion?
the motion in any specific direction following any path in the action of force is called balanced motion . Where as the motion in an y direction due to the force is called unbalance motion motion.
What is a change in an object's motion called?
A change in speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". If an object's speed or direction of motion changes, then the object is "accelerated".
What includes the speed of the objects and the direction of its motion?
Speed and direction is called velocity.
What includes the speed of the object and the direction of its motion?
Speed and direction is called velocity.
When a force produces motion in the direction of the force is called?
work
What is the force called that impedes and object's motion?
the direction force
What is the direction of a melody called in music?
The direction of melody is simply called it's motion.
What is the direction of wave's motion called?
Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.
What is the direction of a wave's motion called?
Well, it's often referred to as the direction of propagation of the wave.
