How rlanet. Arc wo,rhsa.

The planets exercise as certain an In
auence upon each other as do two
pieces Of wood floating upon water in
u basin. AS they ay through their pre-
scribed orbits and approach or travel
from each other they are observed to
deviate from the course which they
must have pursued but for the increase
or the decrease of some influence OF at.
traction.
BY making observations Of this tend
ency at various times and by compar'
ing a number Of results It is possible to
weigh accurately any planet, however
vast and however distant.
All such calculations are founded
upon the law Of universal gravitation.
The mass of planet attracts other
masses In the solar system, so that GER
tain movements result. We can OBJ.
serve the character Of these movements
with our telescopes and ascertain their
amount, and 80 from our measure
ments and estimates we can calculate
the mass and weight of the planet by
which such movements have been pro-
duced.
