An Englshman named Adams and
a Frenchman named Leverrier both
conceived the idea In 1845 that there
might be an eight planet, and that
the disturbance of the orbit Of IRA
nus was caused by this planet.
Both Calculated Position
Both calculated where this planet
ought to be. Gale, German astrono-
mer. pointed his teles cope at the spot
indicated by Leverrie~'s calculations.
He discovered the planet there.
Little Is known about aither Uranus
or Neptune because Of tletr immense
distances from the sun.
Uranus is 10 times fa rther from the
sun than is the earth 1t has diam
eter OF about four times the earth's
diameter. It revolves around the sun
once in "a years and turns upon It's
axis in 1024 hours.
1t is believed to be In molten or
liquid state like Jupiter and Saturn.
-Four moons revolve around Uranus.
Neptune is 2,S00,000,000 miles from
the sun. Consequently there can be
little surprise that we don't know a
whole lot about this planet
Its diameter Is about four times that
Of the earth. One moon revolyes
around Neptune.
Not Sure of Distance
1t Is thought that Neptune rotates
on It's axis in about II hours. but
astronomers aren't sure because OF It's
immense distance from US. The speed
with which II travels around the sun
is about three and a third miles per
second.
The question one naturally asks Is
whether there might not be other plan
cts in our solar system yet farther
from the sun. Several astronomers
think that there might be and have
spent much time hunting them. But
as yet none has been discovered and
Il Is doubtful If there are any others.
For a long time it was imagined that
there might be a planet between Mer-
curry and the sun. This would be diff
fcult to discover because the bright
glare Of the sun would swallow It us.
so to speak. But a majority Of astron-
omers now agree that there IS no
planet between Mercury and the sun.
