When greater , the curvature of the disturbed planet's path , on leaving its perihelion ( N. 64 ) , or point nearest the sun , is greater than it would be in the ellipse , which brings the planet to its aphelion ( N. 65 ) , or point ...

It has a shorter periodic time than any of those previously discovered , and a greater excentricity , with the exception of Nysa . Its orbit cuts that of Mars , and comes nearer to the earth than the orbits of either Mars or Venus ...

One effect of this disturbing force in the spheroid of Jupiter is to occasion a direct motion in the greater axes of the orbits of all his satellites , which is more rapid the nearer the satellite is to the planet , and very much ...

In the eclipses the Annual Equation combines with the Equation of the Centre of the terrestrial orbit , so that ancient astronomers imagined the earth's orbit to have a greater excentricity than modern astronomers assign to it .

It is proved that the greater the excentricity of the terrestrial orbit , the greater is the disturbing action of the sun on the moon . Now , as the excentricity has been decreasing for ages , the effect of the sun in disturbing the ...
