Changing Positions of Planets

Image removed.

In our solar system the relative position and movement of the planets around the sun is different. Their own rotational movements are also different. By knowing the orbital paths and relative position of planets around the Sun we can understand the relative position of planets in reference to the location of the sun (placing the Sun at the center). Similarly in reference to our own location (placing ourselves as the Earth placed at the center) we can easily perceive relative motion of the planets that are visible in the sky above us. The planets appear changing their position in the sky every night but they move in a linear path and do not deflect. 

There are different online websites and mobile app applications to see the position of planets on a particular day keeping us at a static location. This concept has been explained and demonstrated by a sky umbrella tool.
