Besides , the mass of the sun is vastly greater than that of any planet ; and as their inequalities bear the same ratio to their elliptical motions that their masses do to that of the sun , their mutual disturbances only increase or ...

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 ...

a a 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 ...

But they are much greater and more numerous ; because the sun is so large , that many inequalities which are quite insensible in the motions of the planets , are of great magnitude in those of the moon . Among the innumerable periodic ...
