... force arising from the velocity of rotation ( N. 30 ) ; for the centrifugal force diminishes the gravity of the particles at the nator , and equilibrium can only exist where these two forces are balanced by an increase of gravity .

mutual disturbances only increase or diminish the excentricities of their orbits by very minute quantities ; consequently the magnitude of the sun's mass is the principal cause of the stability of the system .
