When earth catches up to a slower-moving outer planet and passes it in its orbit. True or False

(in the same way that a faster runner overtakes a slower runner in an outside lane, the outer planet), it exhibits retrograde motion. True

Explanation:

The retrograde movement is the apparent movement of the planets in the opposite direction to the usual one. Retrograde motion is a projection effect because the Earth moves at a different speed than the other planets. The Greeks tried to explain it by proposing epicyclic movements. The apparent retrograde movement of Mars as seen from Earth is an illusion, produced by the combined effects of the orbital movement of the two planets. The retrograde rotation of Venus is real.
