Hence the intensity of gravitation of all the bodies towards the sun is the same at equal distances . Consequently , gravitation is proportional to the masses ( N. 27 ) ; for , if the planets and comets were at equal distances from the ...

On account of the reciprocal action of matter , the stability of the system depends upon the intensity of the primitive momentum ( N. 59 ) of the planets , and the ratio of their masses to that of the sun ; for the nature of the conic ...

Suppose two planets moving in ellipses round the sun ; if one of them attracted the other and the sun with equal intensity , and in parallel directions ( N. 62 ) , it would have no effect in disturbing the elliptical motion .

Now , the radial disturbing force varies directly as the distance ; and , as it sometimes combines with and increases the intensity of the sun's attraction for the disturbed body , and at other times opposes and consequently diminishes ...
