When the Earth passes a planet such as Mars, the planet appears to move backward for a time, a phenomenon known as retrograde motion. Ancient astronomers believed that the Earth did not move and that the planets moved around the Earth. They also believed that uniform circular motion was perfect and that heavenly objects such as planets exhibited this perfect motion. How do you suppose ancient astronomers accounted for retrograde motion? Include a sketch with your explanation.
