This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER VII. The Present Evolutionary Period of Mars. The important features of this planet are its relative distance from the Sun (141,500,000 miles), about one and one-half times the distance of the Earth from the solar body; its seasonal polar caps; and its canals, also seasonal, stretching from the summer pole beyond the equator, and well towards the winter pole. The volume of Mars is one-seventh that of the Earth, and its density is calculated as seven-tenths that of the Earth. In as much as the planet is further from the Sun than the Earth so it is behind in evolutionary period. Mars is probably at that period corresponding to the arcluean age of the Earth when the primary or Lau- rentian system of rocks was formed. A difference of opinion exists among observers as to there being water on Mars. Spectra of planets must vary according to their positions relative to the Sun and the Earth. Mars in conjunction and in opposition will reflect solar light from the hemisphere proximate to the Sun, where his atmosphere will contain little or no water. In quadrature, especially if the planet's winter pole can be viewed, is the most favorable position to get the spectrum of water. Mars has but one water cycle: From surface water to the cloud, H20, thence to the winter pole where it manifests as a snow or ice cap, 11262, thence from the same, now summer pole, through the canals toward the then winter pole. Thus Mars is tearing up his polar unstratified rocks and forming Laurentian stratifications. The snow caps at the poles of Mars enlarge during their respective winters and become smaller or entirely disappear during their summers. It seems that in the water cycle of Mars the water-vapor in the atmosphere and the water-liquid in canals seek the pole of the planet furthest f...

Download or read book 924 Elementary Problems and Answers in Solar System Astronomy written by James Alfred Van Allen and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This challenging collection of problems is organized into seven carefully crafted, thoughtful chapters on the Sun and the nature of the solar system; the motion of the planets; the Sun, Earth, and Moon; the sky as observed from the rotating, revolving Earth; other planets, their satellites, their rings; asteroids, comets, and meteoroids; and the radiations and telescopes. From question 1, List characteristics of the solar system that are major clues in devising a hypothesis of its origin and evolution, through question 924, Give a brief list of the contributions of radio and radar technologies in lunar and planetary astronomy, the problems range in difficulty from ones requiring only simple knowledge to ones requiring significant understanding and analysis. Many of the answers, in turn, illuminate the questions by providing basic explanations of the concepts involved. Pioneer 10 and 11 are now halfway to the edge of the solar system. All beginning and advanced students of astronomy and their instructors as well as all dedicated amateurs can join James Van Allen on this journey by exploring the questions and answers in this stimulating book.
