Not illustrated. 1811 Excerpt: ...surface; and by observing its motion, which was upon the edge, he found the sidereal time of rotation to be 23/i. 16'. In the year 1726, Bianchini made some observations upon the spots of Venus, and asserted the time of rotation to be 24-J. days; that the north p;le answered to. the 20th degree of Aquarius, and was elevated from 1.5 to 20above its orbit; and that the axis continued parallel to itself. The small angle which the axis of Venus makes with its orbit is a singular circumstance, and must cause a very great variety in the seasons. M. Cassini, the son, has vindicated his father, and shown, from Bianchini's observations being interrupted, that he might easily mistake different spots for the same; and he con' eludes, that if we suppose the periodic time to be 23h. 20', it agrees equally with their observations; but if we take it 24.y days, it will not at all agree with his father's observations. M. Schroeter has endeavoured to show that Venus has an atmosphere, from observing that the illuminated limb, when horned, exceeds a semicircle; this he supposes to arise from the refraction of the sun's rays through the atmosphere of Venus at the cusps, by which they appear prolonged. The cusps appeared sometimes to run 15 19' into the dark hemisphere; from which he computes, that the height of the atmosphere, to refract such a quantity of light, must be 15156 Paris feet. But this must depend on the nature and density of the atmosphere, of which we are ignorant. Phil. Trans. 1792. He makes the time of rotation to be 23h. 21', and concludes, from his observations, that there are considerable mountains upon this planet. Phil. Trans. 1795. Dr. Herschel agrees with M. Schroeter, that Venus has a considerable atmosphere; but he has not made any observations, by whi...
