No, I'm assuming that you drew the diagram to show what you meant. Explain how the planet can make these loops, as it orbits the Sun. You show the planet making a loop three times in the diagram. Explain how.
The planet makes the path over the course of months.
It doesn't make the path over the course of hours.
Then you should show that in your diagram. Your current diagram is quite clear that the planet orbits the Sun three times while the Sun moves less that 12 hours.
How does Jupiter travel more slowly than the Sun? Jupiter even in FET orbits the Sun. Shouldn't it travel at the same basic speed as the Sun, sometimes a little slower and sometimes a little faster, but always about the speed to match the once-a-day spinning of the RE?
Jupiter does pass across the sky every 24 hours. It'sIts movement around the sun is disconnected tofrom the speed of the sun around the hub. Jupiter is moving much slower around the sun than the sun is moving around the hub. Over the course of many months, if one werewas to plot the course of Jupiter in the sky, one would see a retrograde motion.
This is the retrograde motion of the planets. The planets don't make loops in the sky over a single day, but over a long period of time.
So you misspoke again. Noted. I do appreciate your correcting yourself. Thanks.
Now let's go over the errors here. I do wish you'd start to pay attention.
1) Not all planets have retrograde periods, just Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
2) If your diagram is wrong, then
you should fix it.
3) There is no way FET can have retrograde motion of those five planets. I challenge to provide evidence that "Over the course of many months, if one
werewas to plot the course of Jupiter in the sky, one would see a retrograde motion."
4) Here's a thought experiment to disprove your theory. During each and every retrograde period of Mars, and in FET, Mars is far away from the Sun. Indeed it's as far away from the Sun as ever. (Retrograde motion occurs only when the Earth overtakes the outer planet in their orbits, so the planet is away from the Sun.) So how can you argue that the retrograde motion occurs when the outer planet is so far away, and hence not looping at all during this time.
