Gravitation

Gravitation: An Elementary Explanation Of The Principal Perturbations In The Solar System is a book written by George Biddell Airy and first published in 1884. The book provides a detailed explanation of the gravitational forces that govern the movements of celestial bodies in the solar system. It discusses the principal perturbations that affect the orbits of planets and other celestial bodies, including the effects of the gravitational pull of other planets and the sun, as well as the effects of the shape and rotation of the planets themselves. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both students and professionals in the field of astronomy and astrophysics. It is considered to be an important work in the history of gravitational theory and continues to be studied and referenced by scientists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
