SAMUEL G. BARTON O the University of Pennsylvania Last month we discussed briefly our upon the for light and some of the ways In we recognize the debt by our language, often unconsciousiy. We will onsider the gravitational tie which keeps us from losing those benefits. The earth in a vear moves around the sun in a mighty about 584,000,000 miles in lenzth path is very nearly a circle of 93.000.- 000 miles radiue, with the sun about 1,500,000 miles out of the center. We are farthest from the sun on July At a distance of 84,500,000 miles. Jan- {uary 1 we are 91,340,000 miles away, | which 18 the least distance. The varia- in distance cauges only 3 the amount of dependence and heat which sun now tion about { per cent in {light and he | Many are puzzied as to what | terfous force keeps the eurth moving in its orbit perpetually. entists know well that no force at all i necessary to maintain motion. Motion_is a more natural state than vest. There is only evidence of the action a force when either the rapidity of the motion or its direc ton changes. Since the divection and vapldity of the earth’s motion are con stuntly changing, there is evidence {of a force. 1t Is a great force divected [ toward the sun. We call it the sun's {attraction. What this force is no one [ knows. 1t is as myster to the scientist as to the layman. Giving it name in v explains it 1t is ax trae the earth attracts sun. hat the sun is 333000 1y as massive ax the earth s in duence on the earth is that much greater than the rth’s influence on | the su he foree sun is equivalent quintillions of tons 36 followed 17 ciphersi. To k p the varth in path, if there were no attraction, shonld require a rod of the vel best steel 3,000 miles in diameter; that is 1 seventh as large as the earth itself in cross-section. How such stupendous forces can act across space from one hody 1o another without any apparent material connection is an unsolved variation i mys. thus s 1 the as carth to bt of holding the to the w by we hy Einstein's theory. It i€ called “ac tion at a distance.’ When the moon comes hetween the earth and the sun it cuts off the sun’s light and heat. but the sun’s attrac tion for the earth is in no wayv af- fected. This again is mysterious. Should the sun's attraction sud denly cease the earth would keep on moving {n the direction in which it was moving at the time, with the same velocity. The direction its wotion would be that of the to the orbit amd its velo Hes a mecond, the rat ves fnits orbit Sinee 1y 18 perpendicular « the sun. the would leave the | sun very slowiv at fi In the second it would recede ¥ ninth of un inch. 1ach second thereafter 1t woild leave the sun more rapidly until it reach waximum of 155 afles a second. which was its velocity in xpace time.
