...produced on the earth by the sun will have their maximum at these two dates. It is a well known law that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance... | |

...this whole pomp of stars might have been evolved. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Thus the sun and the earth mutually pull... | |

...squares of their distances from the third body. This, then, is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, •with a force directly proportional to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely proportional to the square... | |

...consider. It is frequently known as Newtorfs Law, from its discoverer, and may be stated as follows : Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly in the compound ratio of their masses^ and inversely as the square of their distance. It follows from... | |
