+=====The Movements Of The Inferior Planets.=====
+by Canopus.
+The inferior planets, Venus and Mercury, are nearer to the sun than the Earth and move faster than we. In the diagram below, which is drawn to the same scale as the diagram in the last issue, they are assumed, as before, to start off in a row. In this position we could see neither planet as they would be between us and the sun. After one month Venus will be well ahead of us and will rise nearly two hours before the sun. Mercury will rise a little over an hour before the sun. After two months Venus rises nearly three hours before the sun, but Mercury has gone right round to the other side of the sun and cannot be seen. After three months Venus rises a little over three hours before the sun (it has appeared to be nearly stationary as it travelled almost directly away from us). Mercury has new come round the other side of the sun and will be visible in the evening sky, setting about an hour and a half after the sun. After six months Venus is near the other side of the sun and will rapidly disappear into the sun's light. After a year the earth has gone round the sun once. Venus has gone around about 1 2/3 times and is visible in the evening sky. Mercury has made more than four revolutions and is visible in the morning sky. The inferior planets are much brighter when they are on the same side of the sun as we. Venus is six times as distant when it is on the opposite side of the sun. The elliptic orbits of the planets are another cause of variation in brightness.
 At the present time Venus is coming round the sun towards us. Soon it will start to move between us and the sun and will disappear again into the sun's light.
