THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
Some Facts Which Give an idea Of

Some Facts which Give an idea Of
It's Immcnsity.
Z In all the heavens, with the excep-
ton of passing meteors or meteorites,
not one body occupies position closer
to earth than the moon, which is some
100000 miles away very far, Of
course, side by side with any earthly
distances, but a mere fraction side by
side with other Astronomical distances
Next to the moon our nearest occasion
al neighbor is Venus, end then Mars.
Both Venus and Mars, however, are
often farther away from us than the
sun, which remains always at some
where about the same distance, rough
ly at from 100000 to 90, 900, 900 miles
This dividing space between sun and
earth is of great Importance in think
ing about the stars, and it should be
clearly impressed upon the mind.
Next to the sun in point of nearness
come the more distant planets-Jupiter,
Which Is about five times as far from
the sun as our earth Is; Saturn, nearly
twice rs far as Jupiter; Uranus, near
ly twice as far as Saturn, and Neptune,
nearly three times as far as Saturn. All
these planets belong to our sun, all
are members of his family. all are part
of the solar system. The size of the
solar system as whole, consisting
thus of the sun and his planets, includ,
ing our earth, may be fairly we'll grasp
ed by any one taking the trouble to
master two simple facts. They are
fheSa that orr aarIh 10 rounhly about
100000 miles away from the sun
and that Neptune, the outermost plan
ct of the solar system, is nearly thirty
times as far distant from the sun as
our earth is.-Chambers' Journal.
