The Science Behind Jupiter’s Backward Dance - Cosmic Chronicles Explained - ClickHive

Have you ever noticed Jupiter moving backward in the night sky?
This strange motion, called retrograde motion, is just an optical illusion caused by Earth's movement.
Here’s how it works:

✅ Earth Moves Faster: As Earth orbits the Sun, it catches up and overtakes slower-moving Jupiter.
✅ The Illusion Begins: From our perspective, Jupiter appears to slow down, stop, and move backward.
✅ Back to Normal: Once Earth moves past, Jupiter resumes its usual forward motion.
