The Sun Shriniss Nine Inches n Day.
In one Of his lectures on the sun Sir
Robert Eall pointed out that the sun
was the source of all the heat received
by this earth. Now, it was a well
known fact that most things in cooling
became smaller. A poker, for example,
was shorter when it was cold than
when it was red hot. The sun, too,
must obey this fundamental law and
must therefore be getting smaller If
we could measure its diameter on two
successive days, we should find it had
decreased by nine inches-that was to
say, it was shrinking at the rate Of
roughly, five feet a week, or a mile in
every 20 years.
In view of this shrinkage some of the
younger members of his audience might
feel anxious lest the sun should not last
their time. Such anxiety, however, was
grOundless. He was 100000 miles in
diameter, so it would take 10000 years
for him to be reduced By 1000 miles to
S5S,OO0, and the lecturer was sure that
if there were two suns In the sky, one
100000 miles in diameter and the other
S5S,O00, no one would be able to tell by
looking at them which of the two was
the smaller.
But as the sun was shrinking nine
inches every day and had been doing so
for ages it followed that in the past he
was very much greater than he was
nowHY But he always had the same
amount of material in him and weighed
no heavier than at present. Hence the
inference was that he was once a huge
mass of rarefied CASA great, glowing
nehnla.
