What happens during the apparent retrograde motion of a planet? what happens during the apparent retrograde motion of a planet? the planet moves backward through the sky over the course of a night. the planet moves backward in its orbit around the sun. the planet rises in the west and sets in the east. the planet appears to move westward with respect to the stars over a period of many nights. the planet moves through constellations that are not part of the zodiac.

The planet appears to move westward with respect to the stars over a period of many nights.

Explanation:

In the solar system there are 8 planets. Of these 8, we live on the planet Earth. From Earth we can see 5 planets naked eye which are: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Each one has their own orbit and orbital speed.

If you observe these planets continuously for a large period of time, you will find that for some days they will appear to move backwards/westwards. This is an APPARENT motion. In reality they are not moving back. They just appear to move back as the Earth takes over them in the motion around the Sun. This motion is called as retrograde motion.

This apparent motion can be observed only when we see them with respect to the background stars for a few nights.

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
