Yes. "Retrograde motion" occurs when the apparent path of a planet through the background of the stars appears to turn backward from its usual direction.
The cause is that the Earth and other planets are in orbit around the Sun. The inner planets orbit more quickly than the outer ones. At times in its orbit, the Earth seems to "leap ahead" as it passes the outer planet.

Does Eris have retrograde rotation or has prograde?
Prograde
Which planets have retrograde rotation?
Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. dumb dumb that is the rong aswer it is only jalo the planet after Jupiter
Does Mercury have retrograde rotation?
Pluto, like most bodies in the solar system, has a prograde orbit (inclination: ~17° from the ecliptic).Its rotation is retrograde, though (inclined at ~120°).
What is the definition of prograde rotation?
Retrograde motion is the opposite of prograde motion.So, retrograde motion is where a body is moving in the direction opposite to the movement of something else. Not to be confused with apparent retrograde motion. [See related link]If you were on a child's roundabout and your friend was running alongside in the same direction you were spinning, that would be prograde. If however, your friend turned around and ran the opposite way, that would be retrograde motion. [See related link for a pictorial]In astronomy:The Earth and four other planets rotate in the same direction as the Sun does; Prograde.Venus and Uranus rotate in the opposite direction; retrograde.Do not confuse this with retrograde revolution, as no planet revolves in the opposite direction to the Sun.See related link for a full explanation.
Is Jupiter rotation pro grade rotation or retrograde rotation?
Simple answer: Venus has "retrograde" rotation.A more complicated answer. Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth and most other planets in our solar system. The Earth's rotation is "prograde". It rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the North Pole.However it is possible to define the "North Pole" of Venus in two different ways.It can be said that, on one definition, Venus also rotates in the direction that'scounterclockwise as viewed from above its North Pole.Still, nearly always, you will find the rotation referred to as "retrograde", so the simple answer is OK.Anyway, Venus definitely rotates in a direction that's opposite to its direction of orbital revolution.
Is Earth a retrograde or prograde rotation?
prograde rotation
Does Eris have retrograde rotation or has prograde?
Prograde
What is difference between prograde rotation and retrograde rotation?
Prograde rotation turns counter clockwise while retrograde rotation turns clockwise. ( As viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.)
Is the earth's rotation prograde or retrograde?
It is prograde. That's counterclockwise, viewed from above the North Pole.
Does Venus have a retrograde revolution?
Prograde. In our solar system, prograde is counterclockwise rotation or revolution. Retrograde is clockwise rotation or revolution.Clockwise and counterclockwise are "as viewed from above the Earth's north pole".All solar system planets have a prograde rotation except Venus and Uranus which have retrograde rotation.All the planets have prograde orbital motion (revolution) around the Sun.So, Mercury has prograde motion in both cases.
Does saturn have a prograde rotation?
Yes.

Does Neptune prograde or retrograde?
It Is Prograde Because The Moon Triton Is Retrograde According to scientist Triton was captured and rotates is a opposite Direction as Neptune

How do prograde rotation amd retrograde rotation differ?
Retrograde motion refers to the behaviour of an outer planet while it is overtaken by the Earth, around the time of opposition. At that time the planet appears to move backwards along the ecliptic.
