Question

Why do we observe retrograde motion in some outer or
superior planets?
Because Earth is moving faster than the outer planets and
when Earth passes the planet, the planet appears to be
moving backwards.
Because the planets are moving in epicycle, sometimes the
planets are moving backwards relative to Earth.
Because Earth is moving slower than the outer planets and
when Earth passes the planet, the planet appears to be
moving backwards.
Because the Earth is moving in epicycle, sometimes the
