DISTANCE OF THE EARTH FROM THE Sun.
M. Cornu has lately made valuable
contribution to astronomical knowledge.
It is well-known that the mean dlstence
of the earth from the sun was long sup
posed to have been fixed, within very
small limit of error, at about 95,oOo ,ooo
miles. The accuracy ofthis number had
already been called in question on theoretl-
cal grounds by Hansen and Leyerrler,
when Foucault decided the matter by an
experiment of extraordinary delicacy; that
is, taking advantage of the revolving mir
ror. with which Wheatstone had some
time before enriched physical science.
Foucault succeeded in measuring the ab.
solute velocity Of light in space by expert
ments on beam of light, reflected back
ward and forward, within tube about
thirteen feet in length. Combining the
result thus obtained with what is calle(
!. by astronomers the constant Of alteration
Foucault calculated the distance OF tn
earth from the sun, and found it to b.
one -tbirtieth part, or about three mllhol
miles. less than the commonly recelve'
number. This conclusion has now beel
confirmed by M. Cornu, from a new deter
Iminavion made by him of the velocity Q
llight. according to the method OF Flzeau.
