It is a remarkable fact, however, that the longitudes of their perihelia differ by almost exactly 180D.
At the second, Encke's comet and all others with perihelia within Mercury's orbit would have shared a similar fate.
That night, just when the moon was waning, and before morning broke, Princess Perihelia slipped down the Palace stairs and into the garden to look once more on the place where the White King had promised to love her always.
Then he went out into the garden to get a good look at his magenta Palace from the outside, and as he went along the clipped-yew walk there was the Princess Perihelia weeping over the white stone.
Now a lot of tell-tale-tits had built their nests above the Palace, and some of them flew off and told the Magician how Perihelia was always crying in the yew avenue over the white stone.
The very next day Negretti put on the purple plush suit as well as the Royal Crown, and went to the wing of the Palace which the White King had set apart for the Princess Perihelia to live in.
Perihelia knelt down beside the stone and put her arms round it, and said— “Poor stone, dear stone, what is it that troubles you so that you cannot rest?
Like white sands falling in an hour-glass, the white stone fell away and fell away until the sun looked through the white rose bushes and saw Perihelia clasp the living form of the White King in her loving arms.
Poor Perihelia did not know the white magic; but she washed by the Sunlight Magic, and everything she sent home from the wash was pinky or pearly or greeny, like the little clouds in a May dawn.
Let us also suppose the existence of nebulous rings, like those of our own system, moving in orbits so elliptical that in their perihelia they pass through the atmospheric envelopes of the central stars.
With greater perihelion distances the tendency of the perihelia to crowd together round the point indicated is less distinctly marked.
All these, it will be seen by the following table, have their perihelia in close proximity to the point referred to: =I.
The existence of a divellent force by which comets near their perihelia have been separated into parts is clearly shown by the following facts.
This tendency of the perihelia to crowd together in two opposite regions has been noticed by different writers.
Now, what are the observed facts in regard to the longitudes of the perihelia of the comets which have approached within the least distance of the sun's surface?
Few comets of small perihelion distance should have their perihelia in the vicinity of longitude 80 deg.
This comet, therefore, which, according to Goldschmidt, passes beyond the orbit of Jupiter, is one of the few whose perihelia are beyond Mars.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "perihelia" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
