One is mars. I don't know of any others. It appears to move backwards sometimes because the earth orbits closer to the sun than mars and we pass it up and then it catches back up to us

Retrograde motion is observed in planets when they appear to move backwards in their orbits from the perspective of Earth. This phenomenon occurs due to differences in orbital speeds as Earth and the other planet move around the Sun. The most well-known example of retrograde motion is seen in Mars, but all planets can exhibit this behavior.
