... Of The Planets

An ingenious way or comparing the sizes of planets with the sun is suggested by a writer In the bulletin of the French Astronomical Society.

Let the earth, he says, be represented by 20 franc piece, then Venus is 15 francs; Mars, 2; Mercury, 7; Uranus. 280; Neptune. 320; Saturn, 1,840; Jupiter, 6.800; and the sun 6,780,000.
