- An astronomical explanation for Mercury's retrograde motion: the inner planet appears to retrace its steps a few times per year. Every planet does this, every year. In fact, there is a planet in retrograde for 75% of 2020

Incredible! Easy to understand with your work
This makes the movement so easy to understand! Thanks : )
Beautiful! I had never seen this
amazing. appreciate if you can make for longer period to see the pattern.
this encompass 7 conjunctions in a mercurial year in 345 days.
Thank you
Cool.
How is that "backward" I don't get it, in the the word retrograde. They just go paralell to us
From our vantage point it appears to be orbiting backwards.
Suspicious… got me thinkin too 🤔
Bro I have question when sun rises from the west
When does it?
Mercury is not a planet but the moon to Venus.
Nope, Mercury is a planet
lol
