Shelving bt'w to krtoio- them in the Heavens. SATURN, b , by reafon of its great diftance appears to the eye with but a feeble light. It performs it6 revolution round the Sun in about 30 year?. Jupiter^ %, !3 very bright and refulgent, fi )ifhing its courfe round the fun in about iz years, Mars, ^, is a ruddy fiery coloured planet, 5rii(htng its courfe in about two years. Venus, ?, is the brighteft of al! the planets conftant- ly attending the fun, and never diftant from hira above 47 degrees. It fini/hes its courfe if about it^tn months. When it goes before the fun it is cal!-d Phofph(h-us and Lucifer, and when it follows him, Hejperus. Mercury, S , a iittle bright planet, the fun's coaftant companion, from wbofe fide he never departs above 28 degrees, and by that means ufually hid in hii fpiendor Performs its courfe in about three months. Sol 0, and Luna 0, are weli known, an»l therefore need here no particular difcription. From thcfe Definitions a perf^n m^y eafily diftinguiih all the planets. For if after fun-fet he fees a planet nearer to the eaft than the weft, he may conclude it is neither it is Mercury nor Venus ; and may determine whether light Saturn, Jupiter or Mars, by the colour and : Byt which alfo he may diftingu'.fli betwixt Mercury & Venus.l Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2009 with funding from University of IVIassachusetts, Boston http://www.archive.org/details/pbcl JANUARY 1788, begins on Tucfday.
