Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 ...the chemist or the physicist are observed, and subjected to analysis, that the true state of the case, in this connection, is revealed. The Sun, completely enveloped by the matter of the all-pervading luminiferous ether which is well-nigh infinitely extended, is continually sending, in straight lines, through this medium, its thermal, and other, radiations outward into space even to the distance of the most remote star, these radiations being propagated with the velocity of light and with an intensity decreasing as the square of the distance from the solar surface, but the only portion of this enormous output of thermal energy from the Sun, of which we have actual cognizance, is the modicum of heat received upon one-half the Earth's surface, as measured by the portion falling upon the very small area of a pyrheliometric instrument. The fixed stars, numerous and large as they are, lie at such enormous distances from the Sun that their absorptive effect upon solar radiation may be regarded as practically nil, and moreover, their surface temperatures are quite as high as--if not greater than--that of the Sun, so that according to the "principle of exchanges," each returns an equivalent thermal radiation to the latter body, the thermal emissivity thereof being consequently unaffected, in any sensible degree, by the stars, so that we may reasonably conclude that it is only the matter of the solar system--planetary and other--which is at an adequately lower surface temperature and sufficiently proximate to the solar globe, that can act as absorbers of the Sun's radiations, and it will now be demonstrated that the only significant factors, in this regard, are the Earth and the other seven known planets. According to my hypothesis in this connection, sola...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
