How to use "Retrogrades" in context?
Retrogrades are objects or bodies that move backwards in their orbit around the sun. They are specifically named after the Ancient Greek astronomer, Ptolemy, because he first described them in his treatise on epicycles. Retrogrades are most commonly observed in the early summer and late fall, when they move closer to Earth. They can also be observed closer to the sun during the winter.
Retrogrades are asteroid-like bodies that orbit the sun in the opposite direction of planets. They are made up of rock and dust and are smaller than planets.
