THE PLANET MARS.
It's Orbit and Its Distance From the
Sun and Earth.


Sun and Earth.
While the astronomers are still de
batting and weighing the problem of
Mars and its inhabitants a few words
about the distance Of the planet from
the sun and earth may be Of interest.
The average distance Of Mars from
the sun is l41 100000 miles. The dis
lance from earth to sun Is $4,000, 900
miles. When sun. earth and Mars are
in line, with the sun and Mars on OPP
posite sides of the earth, Mars Is said
to be in Opposition" and It is then
closest to the earth. If earth and
Mars 10th moved in circles about the
sun the distance from earth to Mars
ut opposition would be forty eight and
half Q41ls-93) million miles. But
neither Of the orbits Is circular, that
of Mars being much mole elliptical
than that Of the earth, with the re
suit that at opposition Mars may be
as far away as 81 100000 miles from
the earth when there is an unfavora-
BILE opposition, or Mars may come as
close as 35.OO0.O00 miles away, when
1t Is as near as 1t can possibly come
to the earth, and its opposition Is then
the most favorable possible. At such
times Mars is brightest in the sky and
appears Of greatest size.-New York
