The Elements Of The Four Inner Planets And The Fundamental Constants Of Astronomy is a book written by Simon Newcomb in 1895. The book is a detailed analysis of the four inner planets of the solar system, namely Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. It provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental constants of astronomy, such as the length of a year, the distance between planets, and the gravitational forces between celestial bodies. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the physical characteristics of the four inner planets, including their size, mass, and orbital parameters. The second part focuses on the fundamental constants of astronomy, detailing the methods used to calculate them and their significance in the study of celestial bodies. Newcomb’s book is considered a landmark in the field of astronomy and has been widely used as a reference by astronomers and scientists for over a century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of the solar system and the fundamental principles of astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
