RAYS FROM THE SUN.
They Become Light to Us Only Upon
Striking Our Atmosphere.

They Become Light to Us Only Upon
Striking Our Atmosphere.
The rays Of light that reach US from
the sun are not light In themselves
For instance. to show what Is meant,
suppose you were placed out in empty
space. facing SO that you would look
sidewise at the light rays passing from
the sun to the earth. You would NOT
see them at ALL You could only see
them II you looked directly at the sun,
so that the rays would enter your
eyes and. striking upon the retina. pro-
duce there the impression Of light
The rays passing by and not enter
ing your eyes would be invisible be-
cause In open space there is no me-
dunn like the atmosphere to scatter
the rays in all directions and thus pro-
duce an illumination all around.
The sky at night Is full of passing
sunbeams and star beams, vast and
inextricable web of radiations, but they
lie beyond the limits Of the atmos-
phere, and only those are transformed
into light which by reflection from a
planet In the case Of sunbeams or by
coming straight into the eye from a
star directly affect the nerves Of vision.
