Publisher's Synopsis
""Lunar and Terrestrial Albedoes; The Luminiferous Ether; The Radiant Properties of the Earth from the Standpoint of Atmospheric Thermodynamics"" is a scientific book written by Frank W. Very and published in 1917. The book explores the topics of albedo, the luminiferous ether, and atmospheric thermodynamics as they relate to the Earth and the Moon. The author discusses the reflective properties of the Moon's surface and how they affect its brightness and visibility, as well as the reflective properties of the Earth's atmosphere and how they impact its overall radiance. The book also delves into the concept of the luminiferous ether, a theoretical substance believed to fill all space and serve as the medium for the propagation of light waves. Overall, ""Lunar and Terrestrial Albedoes; The Luminiferous Ether; The Radiant Properties of the Earth from the Standpoint of Atmospheric Thermodynamics"" provides a detailed examination of several important scientific concepts and their relationship to the Earth and the Moon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
