Brighter, since Mars is closest to Earth in its orbit and in a full phase as viewed from Earth.
A few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.
The "apparent" reverse or backwards motion of a planet as observed from Earth. The innermost planets appear to have a retrograde motion when viewed from Earth.
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.
Retrograde motion important in astronomy because it helped to explain that the planets revolved around the Sun. Retrograde motion is the ability of some objects to rotate in a direction that is opposite what is expected.
This motion is called retrograde motion. It occurs when a planet's motion in its orbit appears to reverse due to differences in orbital speeds and distances from Earth.
The apparent westward movement of a planet is known as retrograde motion. This phenomenon occurs when a superior planet passes Earth in its orbit, making it appear to move backward in the sky relative to the stars.
A few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.
The "apparent" reverse or backwards motion of a planet as observed from Earth. The innermost planets appear to have a retrograde motion when viewed from Earth.
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.
Earths faster motion makes Mars appear to be going backwards, the backwards motion, in fact, is what caused retrograde motion. --Ptloemy used Epicycles to explain how geocentrical models worked.
A few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.
Retrograde motion describes something by definition. It is not and has never been a theory.
Prograde motion is a counter-clockwise motion or west to east, retrograde motion is clockwise motion or east to west.

Neptune has a moon named Triton that exhibits retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is when a moon orbits its planet in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation.
The first telescopic observation of Mars was made by Galileo around 1608/1610. In 1636 the first records were taken by Fransisco Fontana. Mars has been noted for its unusual movement in the sky, including retrograde motion, becoming brighter and dimmer at different times, etc., since long before recorded history.
Mars was in retrograde motion in 2020 from September 9th to November 13th, and it will be in retrograde motion again in 2022 from October 30th to December 13th.
