Why does Mars exhibit retrograde motion in the sky? Mars orbits the Sun in the opposite direction as the Earth.

As Mars overtakes and passes the Earth in its orbit, Mars appears to move backwards.

As the Earth overtakes and passes Mars in its orbit, Mars then appears to move backwards.

When Mars and the Earth are on opposite sides of the Sun, it can no longer be seen at night.

What is the reason?

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.

there are two significant figures.
