This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparison of the Features of the Earth and the Moon The story of the physical conditions of the moon had best be begun by noting that the relation of our satellite to a larger sphere is not exceptional, but' the most characteristic of all the relations of one stellar body to another. Of the planets in the solar system, all save the two nearest to the sun, Mercury and Venus, have one or more smaller spheres circling about them. The relation of the sun to the several planets in a larger way repeats this plan of grouping lesser about greater orbs. It is generally believed by astronomers that the celestial spheres have been formed by a process of condensation, due to gravitation, of matter which was originally widely diffused; that our solar system, before it was organized into the sun and lesser bodies, was in the form of a diffused nebulous mass of spheroidal form which extended beyond the orbit of the outermost planet. As this matter gathered towards the center, the material now in each of the planets and its satel lites parted from the parent body, probably at first in the form of a nebulous ring, or spiral, which in time broke and gathered into a spheroidal mass. In that detached portion of the parent nebula the process of concentration was repeated, with the result that satellites, or, as we may term them, secondary planets, were formed substantially as the greater Spheres were set off from the sun. There are many questions and doubts concerning the details of this nebular theory, but that the evolution of our solar system and probably of all stellar sys tems took place in substantially the manner indicated appears to be eminently probable; it is, indeed, fairly well established by what we know of the distant nebular: and by the rings of Saturn, which apparently contain the material which normally Should have formed one or more of its satellites, but which for some unknown reason have remained unbroken. It is not certain at just what stage in the concentration of a nebula a planet or a satellite may be set off from the parent body; nor can the present distance of the satellite from the main sphere be assumed as that at which the parting took place. It is possible that the concentration of the parent body had gone so far that the diffused or nebulous stage of its materials had been passed by and the more advanced stage of igneous fluidity entered on. It is, however, more likely that in all cases the separation occurred while the particles of matter were di vided as they are in a gas or vapor. As soon as the two spheres are separated from one another, and so long as they remain in any measure fluid, the difference in their gravitative attraction on the nearer and more remote part of their masses induces tides, and the effect of these tidal movements, as has been shown by Professor George Darwin, is necessarily to impel the two bodies farther apart. It seems certain that before the earth and the moon became essentially rigid, as they now are, the effect of these tides in driving them apart must have been great enough to account for a considerable part of the interval which now separates them.

This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Solar System, Illustrated by the Geoselenean The object of this arrangement is to give the true position of the earth's axis and to show not only day, night, the seasons, etc; but also the recession of the equinoxes and its effects. The number of the teeth of the wheel P is proportioned relatively to those of the wheels which ao tuate it, and for instruments of moderate size the wheels L and M may have one-fourth as many teeth as H has, while P has one tooth less than H, to obtain a slow rotation of the wheel P relatively to the sun. The small wheel S aids in obtaining this result by reversing the direction of the rotation of the wheel P. At the outer end of the sleeve J beyond the wheel M formerly men tinned are two wheels N and O, the former of which gears into the spur wheel Q, which rotates upon and independently of the inner sleeve to which the moon-carrier is attached. On the outer sleeve there is an oh lique circular plane forming a track for the roller of the moon-carrier. The revolution of the wheel Q with the oblique plane preserves the moon's orbit in its true position in reference to the orbit of the earth. The pro portion of the number of teeth in the wheels N and Q is such that Q makes about one-eighteenth of a revolution in the period of a year and thus shows the recession of the moon's nodes and regulates the phenomena of solar and lunar eclipses. The crown-wheel R is attached to the upper end of an inner sleeve and is revolved with it by means of the gear-wheel O, on the end of the sleeve J which wheel meshes into a horizontal wheel and this again into a pinion on the inner sleeve. These two wheels are under the wheel Q and are concealed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early seventeenth century, Galileo Galilei posited that tides were a consequence of Earths motion. Today weve achieved an accurate understanding of the ways that orbiting objects interact to create visibleand sometimes tangibleeffects on Earth. Earth, Sun, and Moon: Cyclic Patterns of Lunar Phases, Eclipses, and the Seasons explains the cycles that affect our daily lives and how the major figures in astronomy used the scientific method to prove their theories about these cycles in accordance with Next Generation Science Standards.

Download or read book Origin of the Earth and Moon written by Robin M. Canup and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2000-11-01 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The age-old question of how our home planet and its satellite originated has in recent times undergone a minor revolution. The emergence of the "giant impact theory" as the most successful model for the origin of the Moon has been difficult to reconcile with some aspects of the Earth, and the development of an integrated model for the origin of the Earth-Moon system has been difficult for this reason. However, recent technical advances in experimental and isotopic work, together with intensified interest in the modeling of planetary dynamics, have produced a wealth of new results requiring a rethinking of models for the origin of the Earth and Moon. This book is intended to serve as a resource for those scientists working closely in this field, while at the same time it provides enough balance and depth to offer an introduction for students or technically minded general readers. Its thirty chapters address isotopic and chemical constraints on accretion, the dynamics of terrestrial planet formation, the impact-triggered formation of the Earth-Moon system, differentiation of the Earth and Moon, the origin of terrestrial volatiles, and conditions on the young Earth and Moon. Covering such subjects as the history and origin of the Moon's orbit, water on the Earth, and the implications of Earth-Moon interactions for terrestrial climate and life, the book constitutes a state-of-the-art overview of the most recent investigations in the field. Although many advances have been made in our ability to evaluate competing models of the formation of the Earth-Moon system, there are still many gaps in our understanding. This book makes great strides toward closing those gaps by highlighting the extensive progress that has been made and pointing toward future research.
