The Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun whereas Uranus is 1800 million miles so that when we look out at Uranus we may as well be looking at it from the central Sun...



So, while you are looking at Uranus from the central Sun, please note that you will see no planetary retrograde motion at all...


The thread has to do with the second surface rotation which is clearly visible in the sequence of images and applied to the Earth as a matter of course -

The notion of axial precession is gone as the observer is drawn to the motion of the Earth along the ecliptic path and the fact that the polar coordinates is a glimpse behind the curtain to the orbital surface rotation and minus daily rotation which is an entirely separate motion -

You are calling attention to apparent planetary retrograde motions which actually define what a planet is from all other celestial objects including the Sun and moon. The two resolutions for apparent retrogrades rely solely on observations made from a moving Earth and they involved separate solutions for the inner and outer planets.This is an entirely separate issue.
