Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, "Mars" to "Matteawan" - Volume 17, Slice 7

MARS, in astronomy, the fourth planet in the order of distance from the sun, and the next outside the earth. To the naked eye it appears as a bright star of a decidedly reddish or lurid tint, which contrasts strongly with the whiteness of Venus and Jupiter. At opposition it is brighter than a first magnitude star, sometimes outshining even Sirius. It is by virtue of its position the most favourably situated of all the planets for observation from the earth. The eccentricity of its orbit, 0.0933, is greater than that of any other major planet except Mercury. The result is that at an opposition near perihelion Mars is markedly nearer to the earth than at an opposition near aphelion, the one distance being about 35 million miles; the other 63 million. These numbers express only the minimum distances at or near opposition, and not the distance at other times. The time of revolution of Mars is 686.98 days. The mean interval between oppositions is 2 years 49 days, but, owing to the eccentricity of the orbit, the actual excess over two years ranges from 36 days to more than 2 months. Its period of rotation is 24 h. 37 m. 22.66 s. (H. G. Bakhuyzen). ......Buy Now (To Read More)
