The earth's temperature is not caused
by radiation OF heat from the sun or
s'ars. The sun or stars cannot radiate
iron. nor can they radiate heat. The
moon passing between the earth and a
star Increases the earth's temperature
and forces the earth out from the sun,
the main orb supporting the earth's
present temperature, thus causing a
cooler change OF weather next day. A
