...by Hugcns, Roemer, Picard, Campani, &c. though by a Method not very definitive. , 5. However, fince the Plane of the Ring is inclined to the Plane of the Earth's Motion, it is evident when Saturn is fo fi;uated that the Plane of his Ring pafles through...

...planets and their fecondaries are opake and fpherical bodies. X. The Earth turns round its axis which is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 66° 32', compleating its revolution in 23h 56m 4*. The apparent diurnal revolution of the Sun and...

...between the ring and the globe of Saturn, is fuppofed to be rather more than the breadth of the ring ; the plane of the ring is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic, in an angle of 30 degrees, and is about 21,000 miles in breadth. It puts on different appearances to...

...and the greatest diameter of the ring to be in proportion to that of the globe, as seven to three ; the plane of the ring is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic, in an angle of SO°, and is about 21,000 miles in breadth. It puts on different appearances to us,...

...and the greatest diameter of the ring to be in proportion to that of the globe, as seven to three ; the plane of the ring is inclined to the plane of the , ecliptic, in an angle of SO0, and is abou,t 21,OOO miles in breadth. It puts on different appearances to us,...

...determined this proportion, more exactly, to be as 7 to 3. Observations have also determined, that the plane of the ring is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic in an ¡ingle of 30 degrees ; that the ring probably turns, in the direction of its plane, round its...

...thousand miles in diameter, and the southern above six thousand. The planes of these polar openings are inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of about twenty degrees : so that the real axis of the earth being perpendicular to the plane of the equator,...

...Brewster's edition of Ferguson's Astronomy, vol. ii. p. 108. performed in 23 hours 21 minutes. Her orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 3° 23'. The position of her axis with respect to her own orbit is not ascertained. Transits of this...

...revolution in 1681-3981 mean solar days : and its mean synodical revolution in 466-62 days. Its orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 10°.3?'.26",2 : which, according to M. Gauss, has an annual decrease of 0",44. i The eccentricity...

...attracting body is situated in the prolongation of one of the axes of the spheroid. The plane of the equator is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of about 23° 28', and the inclination of the lunar orbit on the same is nearly 5° ; consequently, from the...
