Atmrvphere of Plants. Owing to tho high gravitation, tho atmosphere of such planets as Jupiter and Saturn Is very dense, and so loaded with opaquo particles that we cannot soo through It to tho body of the plnnot within. Hut though tho body -la beyoml our scrutiny, wo can infer that It is very hot, oven nt tho surface; for If tho rolar systom Is formed (as is assume.l) by condensation condensa-tion of uobula, tho hoit of condensation condensa-tion must be proport - ntcly greater and longer retained In a large world than In a small ore. Thus, for the purposo of life on thoso great planets, tho ene.-gy radiating from within may bo available and, Indeed, may largely exceed tho onergy received from the sun nt ho great a distance.
