What reading level is Recent Advances in Astronomy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bathed in the Sun's rays and containing floating matter capable of scatter- ing them, the atmosphere of Mars would form a luminous shell enshrouding the visible hemisphere of the planet. The line of vision from the Earth directed to the centre of the disc pierces this shell perpendicularly; the portion of its length included in the shell is therefore the least possible, and the illumination of the atmosphere is barely appreciable. The line of sight to the limb, however, meets the visible hemisp...here tangentially, and, traversing the ii2 Recent Advances in Astronomy. air-shell very obliquely, its intercepted length is great, and the illumination of the air very apparent. From the edge towards the centre of the disc the length of the line of vision involved in the atmos- phere of the planet continually decreases, the appearance of illumination therefore becomes less and less, and the limb-light is the result. The fading of the planetary features upon ap- proaching the limb is further aided, first, by the fact that as they approach the edge of the visible hemisphere their actual illumination becomes less, as does the terrestrial landscape towards sunset, both from the increasing slant of the Sun's rays and by the greater absorption exercised upon the rays from the greater length of their atmospheric path; 1 and, secondly, from the greater length of the Martian atmosphere through which they are viewed, and the consequent increased absorption exercised upon the rays in retraversing the atmosphere, after reflection from the surface of the planet.
