her Equator 90 Degrees Weftward of the former 
Place every Year, the Place of the Sun's greateft De- 
clination at the North Tropic will be in a Meridian 
90 Degrees Weftward of the former alfo. Things 
being thus premis'd in general : I now proceed to give 
as good a Defcription as I can of the particular Thee- 
nomena in Venus , confining myfelf chiefly to what 
happens in her Northern Hemifphere ; knowing that 
the fame muft happen, mutatis mutandis, in the 
Southern. 
1. Her Axis is inclined 5 i~ Degrees more than the 
Axis of our Earth, and therefore the Variation of 
her Seafons will be much greater than of ours. 
2. Becaufe her North Pole inclines toward Aqua** 
rim , and ours to Cancer > her Northern Parts will 
have Summer in the Signs where thofe' of our Earth 
have Winter 5 and vice verfa. 
3. The artificial Day at each of her Pbles (con- 
taining 4-f apparent diurnal Revolutions of the Sun) 
will be equal to 112-i- natural Days on our Earth. 
4. The Sun's greateft Declination, on each Side of 
her Equator, amounts to 75 Degrees : Therefore her 
Tropics are only 15 Degrees from her Poles, and her 
Polar Circles at the fame Diftance from her Equator 
Confequently, her Tropics are between her Polar Cir- 
cles and Poles, contrary to what thofe on our Earth 
are. 
6. The Sun, in one apparent diurnal Revolution 
from the Equator, and any Meridian where he erodes 
it, to the fame Meridian again, changes his Declina- 
tion at lead 14 Degrees more on Venus , than on out 
Earth from the Equinox to the Solftice,
