If the two bodies could be weighed in a balance, the weight of the sun would not preponderate in the same pro- portion as his bulk, but be only 354, 936 times heavier. This proportion is about a fourth less than that of his magni- tude ; so that the same extent of solar substance would be 60 SCENERY IN A PATCH found four times lighter than the same extent of terrestrial substance. THE MOON AND LUNAR PHENOMENA OF OUR SYSTEM. Next to the greater light that rules the day, the most useful and inter...esting to us of all the bodies in our universe, is the lesser light that rules the night. The proximity of the moon, the relation in -which she is linked to the earth, the power she exerts upon our ocean in drawing up its billows, and the great importance of the lunar theory to safe naviga- tion, have intently fixed the eye of science upon her orb ; while the mild radiance with which she shines in the heav- ens, the advantage of her light to the terrestrial traveller, and the beauty and regularity of her changing phases, have elicited the admiration of barbarian and polished races.
