It's not quite accurate to say planets revolve "opposite" of each other. All planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in the same direction, which is counter-clockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is called prograde motion.

However, planets do have different orbital speeds and inclinations. This means:

* Different orbital speeds: Planets further from the Sun move slower. This can create the *illusion* of one planet moving "opposite" another, but they are both still moving in the same direction.

* Different inclinations: Planets don't all orbit on the same flat plane. Their orbits are slightly tilted, creating different perspectives. This can also create the appearance of "opposite" motion.

Retrograde motion is something else entirely. Some objects in our solar system, like some moons and asteroids, *do* revolve around their host bodies in the opposite direction of the main rotation. This is caused by various factors, such as gravitational interactions and collisions.

So, in summary:

* All planets in our solar system revolve around the Sun in the same direction.

* The illusion of opposite motion arises due to different orbital speeds and inclinations.

* Retrograde motion is a different phenomenon, and it is seen in some moons and asteroids.
