a. Explain what is happening with Earth and Venus while observers see Venus go through retrograde motion in the sky (see Zodiac Strip in the image)? b. Which planet moves faster? Which planet is being overtaken? c. Consider the elongation angles associated with special alignments of a planet and the Sun in the sky: 0 deg for Conjunction, 90 deg for Quadratures, 180 deg for Opposition. Which of these is the mid elongation closest to and during what special alignment does Venus go through retrograde motion?
