OUR WORLD AS A MOON.

Fine Display a Full Earth Would Give

Were we transported to the planet
Venus peculiar set Of views could
be obtained of our earth. ena bling us
to see ourselves. to some extent at
least. as others see us. Venus Is about
the same size as the earth. Is some
what closer to the sun and has more
atmosphere than the earth. When
the earth and Venus are nearest to-
gether they are. Of course. on the same
side of the sun. and In consequence Of
this the earth does not see more than
a very small part of Venus illuminat-
ed, but Venus, on the other hand, sees
all of one side of the earth illuminat-
ed and is therefore able to claim she
has something that takes the place of
moon. for the earth to Venus at this
time looks very large and bright. al
most as much so as our moon does
to us.
If we could see all the Illuminated
surface of Venus on these occasions
we should have quite distinct Sec
ond moon. When we do see all Of her
Illuminated surface she is on the op-
posite side Of the sun from us and
consequently at an enormous distance.
yet she is so brilliant as to prevent US
from seeing her surface distinctly.
But to our own moon we appear in
the best light as moon. A full earth
as seen from the moon. according to
Todd and other astronomers, is a very
inspiring sight. 1t can at once be
seen why this is necessarily true. The
earth is several times larger than the
moon and would appear in the heav
ems as disk about fourteen times the
size of the moon. 1t would probably
shine with a variable light. due to the
shifting clouds Of the earth. though
the light is, Of course, reflected from
the sun, and the reflection Is due In
part to the upper surfaces Of the
clouds
The outlines Of the continents of the
earth appear very clearly to the moon

mache on a globe Cities of compar-
atively large size could be made out
with ease in case observers were there
to make them out. The intensity of
the reflected earth light would be as
much as fourteen moons and would
enable the Selenites. IL such there
