## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the term that describes the movement of a planet in an opposing direction across the sky. This is a concept in astronomy known as "retrograde motion".## Step 2Retrograde motion is the apparent backward (eastward) motion of a planet as viewed from another planet. This is a common occurrence in our solar system, where planets appear to move in a direction opposite to their normal path.## Step 3The other options provided, Kepler's second law, planetismals, and solar nebula, do not describe this type of motion. Kepler's second law refers to the speed at which a planet orbits the sun, planetismals are small bodies that eventually form planets, and a solar nebula is a cloud of gas and dust that forms a solar system.
