" HE problems are very diff
ferent. The weight OF a
Il planet, or rather the mass,
ITO which weight is proportional,
is determined by simple mathe-
matical calculations based on
unquestionable data. The method
requires no assumptions, or
guesses, but only careful obser'
vations to determine sizes, dis
tances. motions, etc.
These basal facts once ascer-
tained II is only necessary To ap-
ply the law of gravitation in
order. so to speak, TO balance a
planet against the sun, or
satellite against its planet.
The determination is much
more accurate when the planet
has satellite, and all OF the
planets have one or more satel-
lites. except Venus and Mercury.
Suppose we take the planet Mars,
which has two small satellites,
We need consider only one of
them, say the outcrmost. The
equation used by the astronomer
is as follows: The mass of the
planet equals the mass of the
sun (which we may call unity, or
u multiplied by the cube of the
satellites distance from the
planet divided by the square Of
the satellites time of revolution
around the planet, and this result
again multiplied by the square
of the time OF the planets revo.
luton around the sun divided by
the cube Of the planets distance
from the sun.

II you take the respective dis
tances and times from any text

this equation you will get in
round numbers, 10000. 900. which
shows that Mars weighs about
one three-millionth as much as
the sun.

which are unattended by satel-
lites-Mercury and Venus-this
