Opis

Word Origin and History of the Sun: "1) (Often initial capital letter) the star that is the central body of the solar system, around which the planets revolve and from which they receive light and heat: its mean distance from the earth is about 93 million miles (150 million km), its diameter about 864,000 miles (1.4 million km), and its mass about 330,000 times that of the earth; its period of surface rotation is about 26 days at its equator but longer at higher latitudes. ..." http: //www.dictionary.com/browse/sun David Daggett; Sun-Beams may be extracted from Cucumbers, but the Process is Tedious. An oration, pronounced on the fourth of July, 1799, etc; Thomas Green & Son; 1799 David Daggett writes: "'A FOURTH appeared with sooty hands and face, his hair and beard long, ragged and singed in several places. His clothes, shirt and skin were all of the same colour. He had been eight years upon a project for extracting sun-beams out of Cucumbers, which were to be put into vials, hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in raw inclement summers. He said he did not doubt but that, in eight years more, he should be able to supply the Governor's gardens with sunshine at a reasonable rate.'"
