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.


Why there are seasons and the apparent motion of the stars and sun?

Seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun, which creates variations in temperature and daylight. The apparent motion of the stars and the Sun is due to Earth's rotation on its axis, giving the illusion that these objects move across the sky.


What is an apparent daily motion?

Apparent daily motion refers to the perceived movement of celestial objects, such as the Sun and stars, across the sky over the course of a day due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. This motion gives the illusion that these objects rise in the east and set in the west. While the actual positions of these celestial bodies remain relatively fixed in space, their apparent movement is a result of our perspective from the rotating Earth.


In what direction is the sun's annual motion relative to the fixed stars?

The Sun's annual motion is from west to east relative to the fixed stars due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This apparent motion is caused by the Earth's revolution around the Sun, giving the illusion that the Sun is moving against the background of stars in the sky.
