Gravitation In Different Planets.
1t II the attraction Of gravitation that
makes weight. An inhabitant Of our planet
could jump TO al amazing height in the moon
LccauSe its mass IL 30 much smaller than that
of the earth This same effect would be pro-
duced upon all other bodies. Horses would
travel at a greatly increased speed and, iftLe
rider was thrown, the consequences Of his fall |
would be much less serious; the elephant
would become as light footed as n deer; a
stone from the hand 81 a careless boy might !
fall in an adjoining town before accomplish |
ing its mission Of destruction; armies could |
engage in battles at great distances from each |
other; and nearly every kind Of labor would |
be lghtened, from the diminished weight Of |
tools and materials.
In other planets an opposite state Of Affairs !
would cnsuc. Jupiter, Saturn, or the Sun,
with their immense masses, would exert ~ |
strong an attraction that we should scarcely |
be able tO move and would crawl along as
slowly as if our feet were weighted with lead
1t is possible, even, that the larger animals
would be crushed by their own weight; and,
il there were no other reasons, this would be
a sufficient one against the theory that the
sun AMI larger planets are inhabited by
beings like ourselves.
