How to use "Retrograde" in context?
Retrograde motion is the backward movement of an object or a planet in its orbit around a star. Just as a comet "returns" to the sun, a planet or asteroid may move backward in its orbit around the star. As the planet or asteroid approaches the star, its motion becomes increasingly forced in a counter-clockwise direction. This means that the planet or asteroid is moving slower in relation to the light of the stars. Estimates put the average retrograde motion at around 9.3 kilometers per second (km/s).
