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.
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.
Mars was in retrograde motion in 2020 from September 9th to November 13th, and it will be in retrograde motion again in 2022 from October 30th to December 13th.
Mercury and Venus are the two planets that retrograde motion around the sun.
Retrograde Motion
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.
Retrograde motion describes something by definition. It is not and has never been a theory.
Prograde motion is a counter-clockwise motion or west to east, retrograde motion is clockwise motion or east to west.
Venus and Uranus have retrograde rotation.There are other meanings of retrograde motion, but retrograde rotation fits the question best.

Neptune has a moon named Triton that exhibits retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is when a moon orbits its planet in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation.
Mars was in retrograde motion in 2020 from September 9th to November 13th, and it will be in retrograde motion again in 2022 from October 30th to December 13th.
Mercury and Venus are the two planets that retrograde motion around the sun.
The "apparent" reverse or backwards motion of a planet as observed from Earth. The innermost planets appear to have a retrograde motion when viewed from Earth.

Actually, 3 planets rotate in a retrograde motion, which, by the way, means that they rotate East to West, or in a counterclockwise motion. Most planets rotate in a clockwise direction, or West to East. The three planets that rotate in a retrograde motion are Venus, Uranus and Pluto.venus
When Mars is in retrograde motion, it does not affect its brightness. Mars will continue to appear at its usual brightness in the night sky regardless of its retrograde motion. Retrograde motion refers to how the planet appears to move in the sky, not its actual brightness.
