...from the sun is 67,200.000 miles ; its orbit has an eccentricity of .00686, and the plane of its orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 3° 23' 31". Venus increases in brightness as it moves from that position which corresponds to the...

...great Lick telescope. The plane of the rings, which probably coincides with that of Saturn's equator, is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of about 28°. As the plane of the ring system always remains parallel to a fixed plane during the planet's...

...from the sun is 67,200,000 miles; its orbit has an eccentricity of .00686 and the plane of its orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 3° 23' 35". It completes one revolution about the sun in 224.7 days and as its orbit lies wholly within...

...thousand miles in diameter, and the southern about 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,...

...on the rotating earth, whose heliolatitude changes during the course of the year and whose spin axis is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 66.5°, may be carried out with the equations in [131]. Now let us discuss the region of applicability...

...movements in the course of a (sidereal) month. BEHAVIOR OF THE MOON The Moon's orbit round the Earth is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 5.15°, and the points of intersection (the nodes) circle the ecliptic westward in 18.6 years. For...

...of the ecliptic is inclined at about 23° 27' to that of the equator. Hence, the axis of the earth is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 66° 33 '. and remains practically parallel to itself throughout the year. The inclination of the axis...

...latitude is simple enough, yet his description does have its peculiarities. The plane of the lunar orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 5°, and the nodes regress slowly through the ecliptic, completing a revolution in a little under 19...

...Distance from the Sun about 68,000,000 miles; the length of its year is 224 days 16 hours; its orbit is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic at an angle of 3" 23'; the rotation on its axis is 23 h. 21 m.; its true diameter is about 7,700 miles ; and its bulk...
