K. C. SOLAR DYNAMICS—SOME NEW ASTRONOMY. 317 a line from the Sun to the Earth will make an angle of 23^° on the north sideof the equator. Then there is but one point possible for the Earth. It can onlybe at P. The equinoxes too are fixed for us, for the plane of the equinoctial colure isperpendicular to that of the solstices. Then the equinoxes are at X and D. AtX the Earth is 91,430,000 miles vertical to the Sun. And at D it will be 91,-430,000 miles below the Sun. In one year the Sun will be at C. And then theearth will be at L, a position exactly corresponding with E. Year after year wewill have this movement repeated. I trust the diagram is understood. Thepoints E and P in the path of the Earth are in our plane. From E to P theEarth moves above, from P to L below, the line of the Suns path. If the Sunmoves in this direction, and at this rate, the earths movement must be preciselyas here shown. The above description answers for each of the figures on Plates I
