Mars seems to orbit backwards because the Earth is orbiting at a faster rate so when Earth passes Mars it seems to orbit backwards.
The apparent backward motion of Mars, known as retrograde motion, occurs when Earth passes Mars in their respective orbits around the Sun. This creates an optical illusion, making it seem like Mars is moving backward in the night sky. In reality, both planets continue to orbit the Sun in the same direction.
The sky on Mars is a butterscotch color during the day due to the planet's dust particles in the atmosphere. At sunset, the sky can turn a bluish hue. Due to Mars' thin atmosphere, the sky appears pinkish-red when viewed from the surface.
Mars
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, that can be seen in its sky at night. These moons are much smaller than Earth's moon and appear as small dots or faint streaks of light. Additionally, Mars can have dust storms and clouds that may affect visibility of celestial objects.
The sky on Mars looks pinkish grey from the Martian surface.

The motion in which Mars appears to reverse its normal direction of motion in the sky is called retrograde motion. This phenomenon occurs when Earth, which moves faster in its orbit, overtakes Mars and creates the illusion that Mars is moving backwards in the sky for a brief period of time.
Sky Galleons of Mars happened in 1988.
The planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Blue Sky on Mars was created in 1996-10.
At sunrise, the sky on Mars is a somewhat red color. At sunset, there is a blue tint to the sky. For most of the day, the sky is a butterscotch color.
The sky is a pinkish-red when viewed from mars because the atmosphere causes a tint.The sky would be pink when viewed from Mars.
Yes, Mars appears red in the sky due to the iron oxide, or rust, on its surface.
Mars is clearly visible low in the Eastern sky just before sunrise. You may have been tricked by the Mars Hoax.
opal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sky on mars is a pinky grey, the pink is a result of iron oxide (rust) suspended in the atmosphere
Mars' atmosphere always contains a lot of dust, and its sky is a Martian sky that is generally butterscotch in color, except for the pink or red of sunset.
