om the earth and the colder that region is. For it is neither appreciably near Fernando Llorente Jersey to the heat of the stars, nor to the rays relected from the earth. It is these that dissolve any formation by their heat and so prevent clouds from forming near the earth. For clouds gather at the point where the reflected rays disperse in the infinity of space and are lost. To explain this we must suppose either that it is not all air which water is generated, or, if it is produced from all air alike, that what immediately surrounds the earth is not mere air, but a sort of vapour, and that its vaporous nature is the reason why it condenses back to water again. But Cincinnati Bengals Hattar Sverige if the whole of that vast region is vapour, the amount of air and of water will be disproportionately great. For the spaces left by the heavenly bodies must be filled by some element. This cannot be fire, for then all the rest would have been dried up. Consequently, what fills it must be air and the water that surrounds the whole earth-vapour being water dissolved.
After this exposition of the difficulties involved, let us go on to lay down the truth, with a view at once to what follows and to what has already been said. The upper region as far as the moon we affirm to consist of a body distinct both from fire and from air, but varying degree of purity and in kind, especially towards its limit on the side of the air, and of the world surrounding the earth. Now the circular motion of the first element and of the bodies it contains dissolves, and inflames by Victor Lindelof Jersey its motion, Stefano Sturaro Jersey whatever part of the lower world is nearest to it, and so generates heat. From Adam Lundqvist Jersey another point of view we may look at the motion as follows. The body that lies below the circular motion of the heavens is, in Philipp Lahm Jersey a sort, matter, and is potentially hot, cold, dry, moist, and possessed of whatever other qualities are derived from these. But it actually acquires or retains one of these in virtue of motion or rest, the cause and principle of which has already been explained. So at the centre Mexico Drakt and round it we get earth and water, the heaviest and coldest elements, by themselves; round them and contiguous with them, air and what we commonly call fire. It is not really fire, for fire is Hartford Whalers Hattar Sverige an excess of heat and a sort of ebullition; but in reality, of what we call air, the part surrounding the earth is moist Calgary Flames Hattar Sverige and warm, because it contains both vapour and a dry exhalation from the earth. But the next part, above that, is warm and dry. For vapour is naturally moist and cold, but the exhalation warm and dry; and vapour is potentially like water, the exhalation potentially like fire. So we must take the reason why clouds are not formed in the upper region to be this: that Mathias Corujo Jersey it is filled not Texas Rangers Hattar Sverige with mere air but rather with a sort of fire.
However, it may well be that the formation of clouds in that upper region is also prevented Blank Jersey by the circular motion. For the air round the earth is necessarily all of it in motion, except that which is cut off inside the circumference which makes the earth a complete sphere. In the case of winds it is actualinks:
