It's called retrograde motion, and it's just the result of Earth, being an inferior planet, "catching up and passing" Mars relative to their orbits. When your car passes another car on the road, the other car isn't moving backwards, but if there weren't any background objects to compare it to (fenchposts, for example) it would SEEM to have reversed.
What else can I help you with?
Do stars move from east to west?
Yes, stars appear to move from east to west in the night sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. This causes the stars to appear to rise in the east and set in the west as the Earth rotates from west to east.
Does the sun move east to west or west to east?
The sun appears to move from east to west due to the rotation of the Earth. In reality, the sun itself does not move across the sky, but the Earth's rotation causes it to appear as though the sun is moving across the sky.
Why does the moon appear to move so slowly across the sky?
east to west
In what direction does Phobos rise and set from mars?
Phobos rises in the west and sets in the east.
What direction does the sun appear to move?

How do planets move in relation to stars?
They mostly appear to move from east to west but there are epicycles during wich they appear to move from west to east.
Which star do not appear to move from east to west?
During roughly half of the time, 'circumpolar' stars don't appear to move from east to west. Which ones those are depends on your latitude. All other stars all the time, and circumpolar stars for the other half of the time, do appear to move from east to west.

Do stars in the night sky appear to move eats to west or west to east?
They always rise in the east and set in the west, because the Earth's daily rotation goes west to east. That is, they appear to rotate anticlockwise around the Pole Star. Stars under the Pole Star move from left to right, west to east.

If the Earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and stars move from the east to the west?
They are not actually, moving, they just appear to be moving because we are. Consider that if you are on a train moving forward, objects that you pass by appear to move toward the read of the train.
The sun and most other stars appear to move through the sky from?
From east to west.
If the earth rotates from the west to the east why do the sun and Star move from the east towards the west?
