How did the Ptolemaic model explain the apparent retrograde motion of the planets? It held that sometimes the planets moved backward along their circular orbits. It held that the planets moved along small circles that moved on larger circles, also known as epicycles, around Earth. It varied the motion of the celestial sphere so that it sometimes moved backward. It held that the planets moved along small circles that moved on larger circles around the Sun.
