lly observable that they originate in marshy districts of the Salomon Outban Low Kengät earth; and they do not seem to blow above the level of the highest mountains. It is the revolution of the heaven which carries the air with it and causes its circular motion, fire being continuous with the upper element and air with fire. Thus its motion is a second reason why that air is not condensed into water.
But whenever a particle of air grows heavy, the warmth in it Jarred Tinordi Jersey is squeezed out into the upper region and it sinks, and other particles in turn are carried up together Mikko Koivu Jersey with the fiery exhalation. Thus the one region is always full of air and the other of fire, and each of them is perpetually in a Mike Gartner Jersey state of change.
So much to explain why clouds are not formed and why the air is not condensed into Justin Abdelkader Jersey water, and what account must be given of the space between the stars and the earth, and what is the body that fills it.
As for the heat Peter Forsberg Jersey derived from the sun, the right place for a special and scientific account of it is in the treatise about sense, since heat is an affection of sense, but we may now explain how it can be produced by the heavenly bodies which are not Vladimir Konstantinov Jersey themselves hot.
We see that motion is able to dissolve and inflame the air; indeed, moving bodies are often actually found to melt. Now the sun’s motion alone is sufficient to account for the origin of terrestrial warmth and heat. For a motion that is to have this effect must be rapid and near, and that of the Jacques Plante Jersey stars is rapid but distant, while that Nike Air Max 95 360 Męskie of the moon is near but slow, whereas the sun’s motion combines both conditions in a sufficient degree. That most heat should be generated where the sun is present is easy to understand if we consider the Kelly Hrudey Jersey analogy of terrestrial phenomena, for here, too, it is the air that is nearest to a thing in rapid motion which is heated most. This is just what we should expect, as it is the nearest air that is most dissolved by the motion of a solid body.
This then is one reason why heat reaches our world. Another is that the fire surrounding the air is often scattered by the motion of the heavens and driven downwards in spite of itself.
Shooting-stars further suffix to prove that Derek Stepan Jersey the celestial sphere is not hot or Zach Bogosian Jersey fiery: for they do not occur in that upper region but below: yet the more and the faster a thing moves, the more apt it is to take fire. Besides, the sun, which most of all the stars is considered to be hot, is really white and not fiery in colour.

Having determined these principles let us explain the cause of the appearance in the sky of burning flames and of shooting-stars, and of ‘torches’, and ‘goats’, as some people call them. All these phenomena are one and the same thing, and are due to the same cause, the difference between them being one of degree.
The explanation of these and many other phenomena is this. When the sun warms the earth the evaporation which takes place is necessarily of two kinds, not of one only as some think. One kind is rather of the nature of vapour, the other of the nature of a windy exhalation. That links:
