Best Answer

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.
