The book ""The Distance Of The Sun From The Earth Determined, By The Theory Of Gravity"" was written by Matthew Stewart and was first published in 1763. The book is a scientific treatise that discusses the theory of gravity and its application to the measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun.Stewart begins the book by introducing the concept of gravity and explaining how it is responsible for the motion of the planets in the solar system. He then goes on to describe the methods that have been used in the past to measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun, including the transit of Venus method and the parallax method.Stewart then presents his own theory for calculating the distance between the Earth and the Sun based on the principles of gravity. He describes in detail the mathematical equations and formulas that he used to arrive at his conclusion, and he discusses the various factors that can affect the accuracy of his calculations.Throughout the book, Stewart provides detailed explanations and illustrations to help readers understand the complex concepts he is discussing. He also includes historical references and examples to show how the study of gravity and the measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun have evolved over time.Overall, ""The Distance Of The Sun From The Earth Determined, By The Theory Of Gravity"" is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the scientific principles behind the measurement of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and the development of modern astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
